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 3.79, RN 0.74, weekend 3.37.Comparing with Medicare Care Compare? Care Compare shows the raw figure (3.79 here, displayed there as hours and minutes), not the adjusted one above. Both are correct; they answer different questions. Staffing rating: 2/5.

• "What is your falls rate, and what specific steps do you take to prevent falls and supervise residents at risk?"
• "How many residents here use oxygen or breathing equipment, and who checks that equipment each shift?"
• "How do you verify that your nurses and aides have the skills to care for residents with needs like my family member's?"
• "How does your pharmacist review residents' medications, and how quickly can you fill new or urgent prescriptions?"
