Quality measures — how residents actually fare

Quality-measure stars summarize outcomes CMS tracks from the assessments each home submits — avoidable hospitalizations and ER visits, falls with injury, pressure ulcers, unplanned weight loss, and long-term antipsychotic use. Because the underlying data is self-reported, weigh a high score against the independent inspection record. Long-stay = permanent residents; short-stay = rehab and post-hospital stays.

Short-stay rehab — if you are coming here from a hospital

Arriving from a hospital right now? Read the discharge guide → — your appeal rights, how to slow a rushed discharge, and what to ask about the numbers below.

Therapy staffing: this home’s payroll records show 0.06 therapist hours per resident per day in 2026Q1 — more than 3% of the 13,892 homes that report any therapy hours at all.

Weekend therapy: weekend therapy hours are 15% of this home’s weekday level — it runs some therapy at the weekend, at a lower level than on weekdays. The median home that reports therapy runs 13% — weekday-focused therapy is the industry norm, not a shortfall. But recovery does not pause on a Saturday: ask what the weekend actually looks like here.

This section is about rehab stays, not living here. Most of this page — the stars, the quality measures, the inspection record — describes the home the way a permanent resident experiences it. These figures describe the short Medicare stay after a hospital discharge: a hip, a stroke, a bad infection, six weeks and home. They are different residents, different staff, often a different wing. Therapy hours are per resident in the building, not per rehab patient — the count includes every long-stay resident, and they mostly get no therapy at all. So a home with a small rehab wing inside a large nursing population reads low here even if its rehab patients get plenty of therapy, and a mostly-rehab home reads high. Use it to compare homes doing similar work, ask what a rehab resident actually gets in a day, and remember that CMS does not publish therapy minutes per patient — nobody does.

Staffing

How full it usually is: this home is certified for 28 beds and averages 23.9 residents a day — about 85% occupied, or roughly 4 beds typically open. It runs fairly full. This is a CMS average, not live availability — no public source publishes real-time vacancies, and a home can be full the day you call. Confirm with the home, and if you need a Medicaid bed specifically, ask about that separately: a home with open beds may still not have an open Medicaid bed.

Against a benchmark — not a legal minimum. In May 2024 CMS finalized the first federal staffing floor for nursing homes: 3.48 total nurse hours per resident per day, including 0.55 RN hours and 2.45 nurse-aide hours. Its hour requirements never took effect and are no longer on the books. Homes had until 2026 (2027 if rural) to comply, and that deadline never arrived: a federal court vacated the hour requirements in April 2025 (CMS has appealed), Congress then barred enforcement until 2034, and CMS formally repealed them by rule effective February 2026. This home is not required to meet these numbers, and is not violating anything by missing them. We still show the comparison because the figures are CMS’s own published estimate of adequate staffing, which makes them a useful yardstick — but they are our benchmark, not federal law: this home’s total nurse staffing of 7.62 hrs/resident/day is at or above the 3.48-hour benchmark and RN staffing of 2.18 is at or above the 0.55-hour RN benchmark and nurse-aide staffing of 3.39 is at or above the 2.45-hour aide benchmark. What federal law does require today is unchanged: “sufficient” nursing staff for residents’ needs and an RN on duty at least 8 consecutive hours a day, 7 days a week (42 CFR 483.35). Those are judged by inspectors on site, not by these averages, so read this comparison alongside the inspection record rather than as a pass/fail.

Weekend coverage: total nurse staffing is 7.03 hrs/resident/day on weekends vs 7.87 on weekdays — 11% thinner on weekends. RN hours go from 2.05 to 2.49 per resident-day. (Payroll-based daily records; the national median home is 15% thinner on weekends.)

This home’s total nursing-staff turnover of 33% is below the national median of 45%.

Payroll-based (PBJ) staffing hours, as reported for Jan–Mar 2026 (CMS PBJ CY2026Q1) — the most recent quarter CMS has published, so they can lag a change of operator or staffing agency. Higher is generally better. Registered-nurse coverage and weekend staffing are the numbers families most often overlook — an RN on site matters most when something goes wrong, and coverage usually thins on weekends. High turnover means residents rarely see the same caregiver twice. One caveat: these are hours as reported, not adjusted for how sick or heavy-care this home’s residents are. CMS separately publishes a case-mix-adjusted view; we show the reported hours. A home caring for higher-acuity residents needs more hours to deliver the same care, so compare these figures against homes doing similar work, and read them next to the inspection record rather than alone.

Inspection trend

Deficiencies are fewer than at the previous inspection — improving. Fewer citations over time suggests a home is fixing problems; a rising count is a warning sign — though two surveys are a short record, and survey teams differ. These counts are from the standard annual health survey only; the full citation list below may also include findings from complaint investigations, so the two won’t always add up.

Inspection deficiencies

State health-inspection citations, most serious first. Each carries an F-code (the federal rule it cites, e.g. F-684 = quality of care) and a letter A–L marking how serious and how widespread the problem was — we translate that grid into the plain tiers shown here. Wording is the official federal description.

Each letter is a CMS scope-severity level; highlighted ones are where this home has citations. A–C = no harm found; D–F = potential for harm; G–I = actual harm; J–L = immediate jeopardy. Within each band the later letter is the more widespread finding (an isolated G is one resident; a widespread I is a pattern), so rightward and downward is worse.

24 citations, most serious first. The 10 most serious are shown; the remaining 14 are one tap away and print in full.

  What the surveyor found here — an excerpt from the official record, may be distressing

  Based on observation, interview, and record review, the facility failed to ensure safe and sanitary food storage and food preparation practices in the kitchen when: a. A plastic scoop was left in a food bin, in the dry storage area, during the initial kitchen tour. b. The facility failed to ensure food was labeled with a date, stored correctly and disposed of upon expiration. These failures had the potential to result in harmful bacteria growth and cross contamination (a transfer of harmful bacteria from one place to another or one object to another) that could lead to foodborne illness (illness caused by food contaminated with bacteria, viruses, and other toxins) in three of three medically compromised residents who received food from the kitchen. Findings: a. During an initial kitchen tour observation on 12/1/2025 at 9:16 am in the dry storage area, a plastic scoop was left in a large bin labeled flour. The bin contained white powdery material, and the scoop was covered in that white powdery material. During a concurrent observation and interview on 12/1/2025 at 9:19 am with the…

  What the surveyor found here — an excerpt from the official record, may be distressing

  Based on observation, interview, and record review the facility failed to ensure residents who were incontinent (lacks voluntary control over urination) of bladder (organ in the pelvis that stores urine) received appropriate treatment and services to prevent urinary tract infections (UTI, common infections that happen when bacteria infect the urinary tract) by failing to ensure the urinary catheter (a thin flexible tube that is inserted into the bladder to help drain urine) collection bag tubing was not looped or coiled to allow the urine to flow freely into the collection bag for two of two residents (Resident 1 and Resident 12) reviewed under the urinary catheter care area.This failure had the potential to result in the backflow of urine into the residents' bladders, which can cause urinary tract infections (UTI- an infection in the bladder/urinary tract). Findings: a. During a review of Resident 12's admission Record, the admission Record indicated, the facility initially admitted Resident 12 to the facility on 6/1/2008 and readmitted the resident on 9/30/2025.

  What the surveyor found here — an excerpt from the official record, may be distressing

  NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY Based on observation, interview and record review, the facility failed to provide appropriate treatment and services to prevent complications of enteral feeding (EF - a form of nutrition that is delivered through a tube in the stomach) by failing to indicate with a label, the date and time the enteral feeding tubing was started for one of one sampled resident (Resident 18) investigated under the tube feeding care area. This deficient practice had the potential for administering expired enteral feeding which could place Resident 18 at risk for complications such as diarrhea (loose, watery stool) or vomiting leading to dehydration (loss or removal of water). Findings: During a review of Resident 18's Admission/Registration Record printed on [DATE], the Admission/Registration Record indicated the facility admitted Resident 18 on [DATE]. During a review of Resident 18's History and Physical (H&P) dated [DATE], the H&P indicated Resident 18's diagnoses included hypoxic brain injury (damage to the brain from not…

  Based on interview and record review, the facility failed to ensure the facility's kitchen ice machine Daily Scoop Sanitizer log was completed daily to indicate the ice scooper was sanitized daily. This failure had the potential to result in cross contamination (the process by which bacteria or other microorganisms are unintentionally transferred from one substance or object to another) of harmful bacteria that could contaminate the ice and cause foodborne illness (an illness caused by food contaminated with bacteria, viruses, and other toxins) in three of three medically compromised and vulnerable residents who received food from the kitchen. Findings: During a concurrent interview and record review on 12/3/2025 at 11:00 AM with the Director of Food and Nutrition (DFN), the facility kitchen ice machine Daily Scoop Sanitizer Log, dated 12/2025, was reviewed. The log indicated, the sanitization of the ice machine scoop was not documented on 12/2/2025 and on 9/7/2025. The DFN stated the log is to be completed daily at the end of the day by the night shift. The DFN stated the night…

“Cited before” means this same F-tag appears on at least one other survey date in the record we hold — counting complaint investigations as well as standard surveys, with no time limit. It is our own read of the data, not CMS’s: CMS uses repeat deficiency as a formal term tied to consecutive standard surveys, and that is a narrower test than this one. A tag marked here may or may not meet it.
