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 3.32, RN 0.68, weekend 2.90.Comparing with Medicare Care Compare? Care Compare shows the raw figure (3.32 here, displayed there as hours and minutes), not the adjusted one above. Both are correct; they answer different questions. Staffing rating: 3/5.

• "Who is on the team that builds each resident's care plan, and how quickly is it in place after admission?"
• "How do you make sure each resident's care follows the doctor's orders, and what changed after this citation?"
• "How do you care for residents with incontinence or catheters, and what do you do to prevent urinary tract infections?"
• "How do you monitor residents' weight and eating, and what happens when someone starts losing weight?"
• "How do you keep residents' medical records accurate, complete, and secure?"
• "Who leads your infection prevention program, and how do you make sure staff follow practices like hand hygiene every day?"
• "Can you show me an example care plan, and how are families included when it's created and updated?"
• "Can I see this month's activities calendar, and what do you offer residents who can't leave their rooms?"

Also worth asking anywhere

• "Can I see the plan of correction for the findings in your most recent state inspection?"
• "CMS reports 36% total nursing staff turnover here — who on the care team has been with you longest?"
• "Can I visit again unannounced, at a mealtime or on a weekend?"
