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 3.39, RN 0.65, weekend 2.92.Comparing with Medicare Care Compare? Care Compare shows the raw figure (3.39 here, displayed there as hours and minutes), not the adjusted one above. Both are correct; they answer different questions. Staffing rating: 4/5.

Print visit checklist

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

• "Who completes resident assessments here, and how do you check them for accuracy?"
• "Who is on the team that builds each resident's care plan, and how quickly is it in place after admission?"
• "Before any service that isn't covered by Medicare or Medicaid, how will you notify us and get our agreement?"
• "Can we tour the resident rooms, bathrooms, and common areas today, including areas not on the usual tour route?"
• "Do you accept Medicaid from day one, and will you put in writing that no private payment is required as a condition of admission?"
• "How do residents get dental care here — is there a dentist who visits, and how are appointments arranged?"
• "What did your most recent kitchen inspection find, and can I see how food is stored and prepared?"
• "For services you don't staff in-house, which outside professionals do you contract with?"

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 33% 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?"
