Yeah it's really scary something can be THAT bad and still not be in the worst .5% of all nursing homes.

I googled "special focus facility cms" and landed here: https://www.cms.gov/Medicare/Provider-Enrollment-and-Certification/CertificationandComplianc/downloads/SFFList.pdf

Is there a way to see which facilities are a "special focus facility"?

All I can say is that nursing home administrators are succubi. They don't hire enough staff, they don't pay them enough, they don't stock enough supplies, they don't take care of the building, and they don't fire the bad staff that mistreat people. I saw people rotting away in their beds. I heard resident complaints get completely ignored by staff. This was during a CNA class.

Edit: Found the list. The one I did my hours at is somehow not on the list. 6 others owned by the same company are on their in various capacities though (candidates/shows improvement/graduates).
