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 7.34, RN 1.47, weekend 6.91.Comparing with Medicare Care Compare? Care Compare shows the raw figure (7.34 here, displayed there as hours and minutes), not the adjusted one above. Both are correct; they answer different questions. Staffing rating: 5/5.

• "What is your current medication error rate, and what have you changed to bring errors down?"
• "Can you show me how medications are stored and secured on the units, including controlled drugs?"
• "How do you train staff to treat residents with dignity, and how do you protect residents' personal belongings?"

Also worth asking anywhere

• "CMS reports 31% total nursing staff turnover here — who on the care team has been with you longest?"
