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 4.16, RN 1.01, weekend 3.57.Comparing with Medicare Care Compare? Care Compare shows the raw figure (4.16 here, displayed there as hours and minutes), not the adjusted one above. Both are correct; they answer different questions. Staffing rating: 5/5.

• "Can I get a written copy of resident rights, house rules, and a full list of services and charges today?"
• "Where do you post your daily staffing numbers, and can I see today's?"
• "What did your most recent kitchen inspection find, and can I see how food is stored and prepared?"
• "If you ever planned to discharge or transfer my family member, how much written notice would we receive and how could we appeal?"
• "How do you prevent bedsores for residents who can't move themselves, and how often are at-risk residents repositioned?"
• "Could I join residents for a meal to see the food quality and temperature for myself?"
• "What percentage of your residents and staff are vaccinated against flu and pneumonia, and how do you offer the vaccines?"
• "What is your policy on physical restraints, and what alternatives do you try first?"

Also worth asking anywhere

• "Your weekend nurse staffing is reported below the Minnesota 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 29% total nursing staff turnover here — who on the care team has been with you longest?"
• "The ownership record on file lists 20 owning or managing parties — who makes the decisions about staffing levels?"
• "Can I visit again unannounced, at a mealtime or on a weekend?"
