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 3.09, RN 1.16, weekend 2.73.Comparing with Medicare Care Compare? Care Compare shows the raw figure (3.09 here, displayed there as hours and minutes), not the adjusted one above. Both are correct; they answer different questions. Staffing rating: 3/5.

Print visit checklist

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?"
• "What systems do you use to prevent medication errors, and what happens when one occurs?"
• "What did your most recent kitchen inspection find, and can I see how food is stored and prepared?"
• "Can you give me examples of how your staff protect residents' dignity in everyday care, like bathing and dressing?"
• "How many residents here use oxygen or breathing equipment, and who checks that equipment each shift?"
• "Can you show me how medications are stored and secured on the units, including controlled drugs?"
• "Can we tour the resident rooms, bathrooms, and common areas today, including areas not on the usual tour route?"
• "Who leads your infection prevention program, and how do you make sure staff follow practices like hand hygiene every day?"

Also worth asking anywhere

• "Your weekend nurse staffing is reported below the Indiana 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 56% 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?"
