What these staffing numbers mean →

Hours are per resident per day for the most recent quarter of payroll data in this CMS release (2026-08-01) — the same quarter for every facility — case-mix adjusted by CMS so facilities caring for sicker residents can be compared fairly (same basis as the CMS staffing star). "Top X%" means better than most facilities: more staffing hours, or lower turnover. Raw (unadjusted) reported hours: total 3.14, RN 0.48, weekend 2.73.Comparing with Medicare Care Compare? Care Compare shows the raw figure (3.14 here, displayed there as hours and minutes), not the adjusted one above. Both are correct; they answer different questions. Staffing rating: 1/5.

• "What does the care plan for a brand-new resident cover in the first 48 hours, and who writes it?"
• "Who completes resident assessments here, and how do you check them for accuracy?"
• "Can you show me an example care plan, and how are families included when it's created and updated?"
• "How many residents here use oxygen or breathing equipment, and who checks that equipment each shift?"
• "What did your most recent kitchen inspection find, and can I see how food is stored and prepared?"
