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 3.67, RN 0.56, weekend 3.13.Comparing with Medicare Care Compare? Care Compare shows the raw figure (3.67 here, displayed there as hours and minutes), not the adjusted one above. Both are correct; they answer different questions. Staffing rating: 2/5.

• "When abuse or theft is suspected, who do you notify, how fast, and how do you inform the family?"
• "Can you show me an example care plan, and how are families included when it's created and updated?"
• "What systems do you use to prevent medication errors, and what happens when one occurs?"
• "What were the findings behind this administration citation, and what has leadership changed since?"
• "What did your most recent kitchen inspection find, and can I see how food is stored and prepared?"
• "How do you inspect and maintain essential equipment, and how quickly are repairs made?"
• "If my family member is able to manage their own medications, would you allow it, and how is that decided?"
• "Can you show me how medications are stored and secured on the units, including controlled drugs?"

Also worth asking anywhere

• "Your weekend nurse staffing is reported below the Georgia 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 42% 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?"
