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 4.01, RN 0.69, weekend 3.53.Comparing with Medicare Care Compare? Care Compare shows the raw figure (4.01 here, displayed there as hours and minutes), not the adjusted one above. Both are correct; they answer different questions. Staffing rating: 3/5.

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

• "How do you make sure each resident's care follows the doctor's orders, and what changed after this citation?"
• "Can we tour the resident rooms, bathrooms, and common areas today, including areas not on the usual tour route?"
• "What did your most recent kitchen inspection find, and can I see how food is stored and prepared?"
• "How do you handle residents who need modified food textures, and how do you make those meals appetizing?"
• "Can we tour the whole building today, including resident bathrooms and common areas, not just the lobby?"
• "Can you give me examples of how your staff protect residents' dignity in everyday care, like bathing and dressing?"
• "How do you explain health changes and treatment options to residents and their families?"
• "If my family member is able to manage their own medications, would you allow it, and how is that decided?"

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 62% 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?"
