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 3.64, RN 1.07, weekend 3.04.Comparing with Medicare Care Compare? Care Compare shows the raw figure (3.64 here, displayed there as hours and minutes), not the adjusted one above. Both are correct; they answer different questions. Staffing rating: 3/5.

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

• "Are staff on every shift trained and certified in CPR, and how do they know each resident's resuscitation wishes?"
• "How do you make sure each resident's care follows the doctor's orders, and what changed after this citation?"
• "What is your falls rate, and what specific steps do you take to prevent falls and supervise residents at risk?"
• "Before a resident is discharged or transferred, how do you make sure the new place can actually meet their needs?"
• "Who is on the team that builds each resident's care plan, and how quickly is it in place after admission?"
• "Walk me through what happens when a resident or family files a grievance — who responds and how fast?"
• "Who leads your infection prevention program, and how do you make sure staff follow practices like hand hygiene every day?"
• "Can we tour the whole building today, including resident bathrooms and common areas, not just the lobby?"

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 52% 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?"
