Antipsychotic drug use

The share of long-stay residents given antipsychotic medication. These drugs are sometimes used to sedate residents with dementia, a practice CMS and resident advocates watch closely. Lower is better.

31.4%
of long-stay residents
Texas median 8.3%
National median 13.4%

This is far above both the Texas and national norm. It is worth asking the staff directly why, and whether every prescription has a documented medical reason and a plan to reduce it.

Preventable harm

Two injuries that good staffing and attentive care are meant to prevent: serious falls and pressure ulcers (bedsores). These are the outcomes families fear most, and they rarely appear on referral sites. Lower is better on both.

Falls with major injury

of long-stay residents

The serious-fall rate here is at or below the Texas median, a reassuring sign for how closely the home supervises residents.
