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 4.97, RN 2.30, weekend 4.20.Comparing with Medicare Care Compare? Care Compare shows the raw figure (4.97 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.

• "How does your pharmacist review residents' medications, and how quickly can you fill new or urgent prescriptions?"
• "What systems do you use to prevent medication errors, and what happens when one occurs?"
• "How do you make sure each resident's care follows the doctor's orders, and what changed after this citation?"
• "What did your most recent kitchen inspection find, and can I see how food is stored and prepared?"
• "How do you explain health changes and treatment options to residents and their families?"
• "What choices do residents have over their daily schedule, like meal times, bathing, and activities?"
• "How do you record and honor each resident's treatment wishes and advance directives, and how do staff know about them?"
• "When abuse or theft is suspected, who do you notify, how fast, and how do you inform the family?"

Also worth asking anywhere

• "Your weekend nurse staffing is reported below the Alaska 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 66% 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?"
