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 3.28, RN 0.42, weekend 2.91.Comparing with Medicare Care Compare? Care Compare shows the raw figure (3.28 here, displayed there as hours and minutes), not the adjusted one above. Both are correct; they answer different questions. Staffing rating: 2/5.

Print visit checklist

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

• "What systems do you use to prevent medication errors, and what happens when one occurs?"
• "What percentage of your residents are on antipsychotic or sedating medications, and how do you work to reduce that?"
• "How do you prevent bedsores for residents who can't move themselves, and how often are at-risk residents repositioned?"
• "Can you give me examples of how you adjust daily routines and room setups to fit each resident's preferences?"
• "If my family member falls or their condition changes, exactly when and how will I be notified?"
• "Can you tell me what this citation involved and what steps you took to bring care back up to standard?"
• "Can you show me how medications are stored and secured on the units, including controlled drugs?"
• "How often does each resident's doctor visit and review their care in person?"

Also worth asking anywhere

• "Your weekend nurse staffing is reported below the Massachusetts 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 39% 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?"
