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 3.86, RN 0.64, weekend 3.59.Comparing with Medicare Care Compare? Care Compare shows the raw figure (3.86 here, displayed there as hours and minutes), not the adjusted one above. Both are correct; they answer different questions. Staffing rating: 5/5.

Print visit checklist

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

• "What did your most recent kitchen inspection find, and can I see how food is stored and prepared?"
• "How do you prevent bedsores for residents who can't move themselves, and how often are at-risk residents repositioned?"
• "Who leads your infection prevention program, and how do you make sure staff follow practices like hand hygiene every day?"
• "Who oversees antibiotic use here, and how do you decide when an antibiotic is really needed?"
• "Can we tour the whole building today, including resident bathrooms and common areas, not just the lobby?"
• "Can you show me an example care plan, and how are families included when it's created and updated?"
• "Can you tell me what this citation involved and what steps you took to bring care back up to standard?"
• "How do you learn about each resident's background and history, and how does that shape their care?"

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 27% total nursing staff turnover here — who on the care team has been with you longest?"
• "The ownership record on file lists 13 owning or managing parties — who makes the decisions about staffing levels?"
• "Can I visit again unannounced, at a mealtime or on a weekend?"
