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 1.19, RN 0.10, weekend 1.00.Comparing with Medicare Care Compare? Care Compare shows the raw figure (1.19 here, displayed there as hours and minutes), not the adjusted one above. Both are correct; they answer different questions. Staffing rating: 1/5.

Generated from this facility's actual citation record — bring them to a tour and ask the administrator directly.

• "What is your falls rate, and what specific steps do you take to prevent falls and supervise residents at risk?"
• "What did your most recent kitchen inspection find, and can I see how food is stored and prepared?"
• "How does your quality committee work, and can you give an example of a problem it recently identified and fixed?"
• "What do you do daily to keep residents moving, and how do you help residents at risk of losing mobility?"
• "What mental health services do you offer on-site, and how do you care for residents with depression, anxiety, or a history of trauma?"
• "Who leads your infection prevention program, and how do you make sure staff follow practices like hand hygiene every day?"
• "Can you give me examples of how your staff protect residents' dignity in everyday care, like bathing and dressing?"
• "How do you protect residents' privacy, both in their medical records and in day-to-day care?"

Also worth asking anywhere

• "Your weekend nurse staffing is reported below the Indiana midpoint — how does the weekend schedule differ from a weekday?"
• "Can I see the plan of correction for the findings in your most recent state inspection?"
• "CMS reports 45% total nursing staff turnover here — who on the care team has been with you longest?"
• "The ownership record on file lists 33 owning or managing parties — who makes the decisions about staffing levels?"
• "Can I visit again unannounced, at a mealtime or on a weekend?"
