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 4.51, RN 0.98, weekend 4.01.Comparing with Medicare Care Compare? Care Compare shows the raw figure (4.51 here, displayed there as hours and minutes), not the adjusted one above. Both are correct; they answer different questions. Staffing rating: 4/5.

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

• "What did your most recent kitchen inspection find, and can I see how food is stored and prepared?"
• "Who leads your infection prevention program, and how do you make sure staff follow practices like hand hygiene every day?"
• "Where do you post your latest state inspection results and the ombudsman's contact information?"
• "If my family member is able to manage their own medications, would you allow it, and how is that decided?"
• "What does the care plan for a brand-new resident cover in the first 48 hours, and who writes it?"
• "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 often is each resident's medication list reviewed, and who decides when a drug can be reduced or stopped?"

Also worth asking anywhere

• "What is your current ratio of nursing staff to residents on day, evening, and weekend shifts?"
• "Can I see the plan of correction for the findings in your most recent state inspection?"
• "CMS reports 63% 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?"
