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 3.08, RN 0.49, weekend 2.71.Comparing with Medicare Care Compare? Care Compare shows the raw figure (3.08 here, displayed there as hours and minutes), not the adjusted one above. Both are correct; they answer different questions. Staffing rating: 2/5.

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

• "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 we tour the resident rooms, bathrooms, and common areas today, including areas not on the usual tour route?"
• "Before a resident is discharged or transferred, how do you make sure the new place can actually meet their needs?"
• "What written notices do we get before any transfer or discharge, and what is your bed-hold policy?"
• "Who completes resident assessments here, and how do you check them for accuracy?"
• "What does the care plan for a brand-new resident cover in the first 48 hours, and who writes it?"
• "Can you show me an example care plan, and how are families included when it's created and updated?"

Also worth asking anywhere

• "Your weekend nurse staffing is reported below the Maryland 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 48% 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?"
