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 3.01, RN 0.69, weekend 2.67.Comparing with Medicare Care Compare? Care Compare shows the raw figure (3.01 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?"
• "Can we tour the whole building today, including resident bathrooms and common areas, not just the lobby?"
• "Who leads your infection prevention program, and how do you make sure staff follow practices like hand hygiene every day?"
• "How do you screen new residents for mental health and disability-related needs, and how do you provide the specialized services they require?"
• "How many aides are on each shift, and how do you make sure every resident gets timely help with bathing, dressing, and meals?"
• "How do you make sure each resident's care follows the doctor's orders, and what changed after this citation?"
• "What is your falls rate, and what specific steps do you take to prevent falls and supervise residents at risk?"
• "What is your approach to psychiatric medications — how do you try non-drug options first and work to reduce doses over time?"

Also worth asking anywhere

• "Your weekend nurse staffing is reported below the Colorado 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 72% total nursing staff turnover here — who on the care team has been with you longest?"
• "The ownership record on file lists 16 owning or managing parties — who makes the decisions about staffing levels?"
• "Can I visit again unannounced, at a mealtime or on a weekend?"
