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 3.41, RN 0.84, weekend 2.83.Comparing with Medicare Care Compare? Care Compare shows the raw figure (3.41 here, displayed there as hours and minutes), not the adjusted one above. Both are correct; they answer different questions. Staffing rating: 4/5.

• "Who leads your infection prevention program, and how do you make sure staff follow practices like hand hygiene every day?"
• "Walk me through what happens when a resident or family files a grievance — who responds and how fast?"
• "Who oversees antibiotic use here, and how do you decide when an antibiotic is really needed?"
• "Tell me about this abuse or neglect citation — what happened, and what specific changes did you make afterward?"
• "When abuse or theft is suspected, who do you notify, how fast, and how do you inform the family?"
• "If someone reports suspected abuse or neglect here, what happens in the first 24 hours?"
• "How many aides are on each shift, and how do you make sure every resident gets timely help with bathing, dressing, and meals?"

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 53% total nursing staff turnover here — who on the care team has been with you longest?"
• "The ownership record on file lists 104 owning or managing parties — who makes the decisions about staffing levels?"
• "Can I visit again unannounced, at a mealtime or on a weekend?"
