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