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 3.57, RN 1.18, weekend 2.98.Comparing with Medicare Care Compare? Care Compare shows the raw figure (3.57 here, displayed there as hours and minutes), not the adjusted one above. Both are correct; they answer different questions. Staffing rating: 4/5.

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

• "What is your falls rate, and what specific steps do you take to prevent falls and supervise residents at risk?"
• "How do you monitor residents' weight and eating, and what happens when someone starts losing weight?"
• "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?"
• "What is your nurse and aide staffing ratio on each shift, including nights and weekends?"
• "How is fresh air circulated through the building, and how is the ventilation system maintained?"
• "If my family member is able to manage their own medications, would you allow it, and how is that decided?"
• "Are staff on every shift trained and certified in CPR, and how do they know each resident's resuscitation wishes?"

Also worth asking anywhere

• "Your weekend nurse staffing is reported below the Michigan 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 45% total nursing staff turnover here — who on the care team has been with you longest?"
• "The ownership record on file lists 14 owning or managing parties — who makes the decisions about staffing levels?"
• "Can I visit again unannounced, at a mealtime or on a weekend?"
