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 5.04, RN 0.89, weekend 4.21.Comparing with Medicare Care Compare? Care Compare shows the raw figure (5.04 here, displayed there as hours and minutes), not the adjusted one above. Both are correct; they answer different questions. Staffing rating: 4/5.

• "If my family member falls or their condition changes, exactly when and how will I be notified?"
• "Tell me about this abuse or neglect citation — what happened, and what specific changes did you make afterward?"
• "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?"
• "How do you record and honor each resident's treatment wishes and advance directives, and how do staff know about them?"
• "Who completes resident assessments here, and how do you check them for accuracy?"
• "When abuse or theft is suspected, who do you notify, how fast, and how do you inform the family?"

Also worth asking anywhere

• "What is your current ratio of nursing staff to residents on day, evening, and weekend shifts?"
• "Can I see the plan of correction for the findings in your most recent state inspection?"
• "CMS reports 38% total nursing staff turnover here — who on the care team has been with you longest?"
• "Can I visit again unannounced, at a mealtime or on a weekend?"
