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 2.95, RN 0.69, weekend 2.40.Comparing with Medicare Care Compare? Care Compare shows the raw figure (2.95 here, displayed there as hours and minutes), not the adjusted one above. Both are correct; they answer different questions. Staffing rating: 2/5.

Print visit checklist

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

• "What is your nurse and aide staffing ratio on each shift, including nights and weekends?"
• "How is pest control handled here, and when was the last treatment or inspection?"
• "Can you give me examples of how your staff protect residents' dignity in everyday care, like bathing and dressing?"
• "What choices do residents have over their daily schedule, like meal times, bathing, and activities?"
• "Can we tour the resident rooms, bathrooms, and common areas today, including areas not on the usual tour route?"
• "When abuse or theft is suspected, who do you notify, how fast, and how do you inform the family?"
• "How do you prevent bedsores for residents who can't move themselves, and how often are at-risk residents repositioned?"
• "What is your falls rate, and what specific steps do you take to prevent falls and supervise residents at risk?"

Also worth asking anywhere

• "Your weekend nurse staffing is reported below the New York 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 59% 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?"
