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.

Texas median 8.3%

This is below the national median but above the Texas median, roughly middle of the pack for the state.

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

Pressure ulcers (bedsores)

The serious-fall rate here is above the national median. It is worth asking how the home prevents falls and whether recent injuries prompted any changes.
