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.

53.5% of the Medicare patients who left this home got back to the community and stayed there for at least 31 days — which CMS reads as no different from the national rate. This is CMS’s risk-adjusted rate over 155 Medicare stays in Oct 2022–Sep 2024, and CMS’s own comparison — not ours.

Met the expected recovery: 57.9% of this home’s Medicare short-stay residents left it at or above the ability to care for themselves and move around that CMS predicted for them, across 121 stays in Oct 2024–Sep 2025. The median of the 11,061 homes CMS publishes this for is 56.6%. Read it beside the getting-home figure, not instead of it: unlike the two measures above, CMS makes no better-or-worse call on this one and publishes no confidence interval for it, so this is a comparison and not a verdict — but it is the short-stay measure that separates homes most, and the one to ask about.

Therapy staffing: this home’s payroll records show 0.41 therapist hours per resident per day in 2026Q1 — more than 71% of the 13,892 homes that report any therapy hours at all.

Weekend therapy: weekend therapy hours are 10% 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 77 beds and averages 74.0 residents a day — about 96% occupied, or roughly 3 beds typically open. It runs essentially full — expect a waiting list. 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 3.43 hrs/resident/day is below the 3.48-hour benchmark and RN staffing of 0.63 is at or above the 0.55-hour RN benchmark and nurse-aide staffing of 2.01 is below 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 3.20 hrs/resident/day on weekends vs 3.52 on weekdays — 9% thinner on weekends. RN hours go from 0.72 to 0.40 per resident-day. (Payroll-based daily records; the national median home is 15% thinner on weekends.)

This home’s total nursing-staff turnover of 62% is well above 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.

• Potential for harm · D2025-03-20 · tag F0582 — isolated
  Give residents notice of Medicaid/Medicare coverage and potential liability for services not covered.
  What the surveyor found here — an excerpt from the official record, may be distressing

  Based on record review, staff interview, and policy review, the facility failed to provide the Skilled Nursing Facility Advanced Beneficiary Notice of Non-coverage (SNF ABN, CMS-10055 form) to 1 of 3 sampled residents reviewed for beneficiary notices. The SNF ABN provides information to beneficiaries so they can decide if they wish to continue receiving the skilled services that may not be paid for by Medicare and assume financial responsibility. (Resident #64) The findings include: Based upon facility documentation, Resident #64 was discharged from a Medicare Part A stay on 2/24/25 and remained in the facility. Review of the Beneficiary Notification review form (CMS 20052) completed by the Business Office Manager (BOM) on 3/18/25 revealed the facility initiated the discharge of Resident #64 from Medicare Part A services when benefit days were not exhausted. The form indicated the SNF ABN (CMS 10055) was not provided to the resident because the resident was not picked up under skilled Medicare Part B services. An interview was conducted with the Administrator on 3/18/25 at 1:11 PM.…

  Based on observations, record review, staff interview, and policy review, the facility failed to provide appropriate fingernail care to 1 of 1 sampled residents reviewed for activities of daily living. (Resident #33) The findings include: Observations of Resident #33 were conducted on 3/17/25 at 11:54 AM, 3/18/25 at 11:31 AM, and 3/19/25 at 9:05 AM. During the observations, the resident's left hand was observed to be contracted and 4 of the 5 fingernails (all nails except the thumb nail) on her left hand were long and untrimmed. Further observation of Resident #33's left hand was conducted on 3/19/25 at 10:45 AM with the Director of Nursing (DON). The DON observed the nails on the resident's left hand and confirmed the resident's left hand was contracted. The DON measured the longest nail on the resident's left hand and stated it was 1 cm past the nail bed. The DON confirmed this was not an acceptable length and the resident's nails should be cut short. The DON then spoke with a certified nursing assistant (CNA) and stated the CNA reported she had attempted to trim the resident's…

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

  Based upon observations, interviews and record reviews, the facility failed to provide proper enteral feedings for 2 of 2 residents observed for enteral feeding. (Resident #1 and #44) The findings include: On 03/17/25 at 11:52 AM, Resident #1 was lying in bed with Glucerna being administered at 55 ml/hr. However, Resident #44's name was written on the tube feeding bottle. Resident #44 was being administered Jevity 1.5 at 45ml/hr but the bottle had Resident #1's name written on the tube feeding bottle. (photographic evidence obtained) As this was observed, Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) B came into the room. She was asked to identify Resident #1 and #44. The CNA stated Resident #44 was in the B-bed and Resident #1 was in A-bed. The CNA went to get the nurse to assist further with tube feeing concerns An interview with Staff Member A, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) was conducted on 3/17/25 at 12:05 PM. Nurse A was alerted to the switched tube feeding bottles. Staff Member A confirmed that Resident #1's tube feeding was not correct. Resident #1 should have Jevity infusing instead…

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

  Based on observation, record review, staff interviews, and policy review, the facility staff failed to demonstrate competency in skin care during 1 of 1 partial bed bath observations. (Resident #4) The findings include: An observation of a partial bed bath for Resident #4 was observed being performed by Employee A, a Certified Nursing Assistant, on 12/10/24 at 8:40 AM. Employee A explained the procedure to Resident #4. Employee A then obtained one pan of water from the sink in the bathroom and donned gloves. Employee A requested that Resident #4 wash his face with the wet washcloth. Employee A then placed liquid soap in the pan of water, wet the washcloth, and then washed the resident's chest and underarms with the soapy washcloth. Employee A did not rinse the soap from the resident's body. Employee A then placed more liquid soap in the pan of water, wet the washcloth with the soapy water, and washed his back with the soapy washcloth. She did not rinse the soap from the resident's back either. Employee A then placed fresh water in the pan, placed liquid soap on a washcloth, placed…

Fines & penalties

No federal fines in the current CMS record.

Part of a chain

This home belongs to AVIATA HEALTH GROUP — 50 facilities. Here is how its ratings compare with the chain’s average across all its homes: See the whole chain — ratings, flags, fines and finances →

A home rated well below its chain’s average can signal local problems; a chain with a low average across the board is a bigger pattern worth researching. CMS chain data under-reports private-equity and REIT ownership, so treat this as a floor, not the full picture.

Who owns this facility

CMS files one row per role, so the 15 rows in the source record cover these 12 parties — each is shown once here with every role it holds. Nothing is omitted. The source lists no ownership percentage for any of them — PECOS records a share only for equity interests, not for board or management roles.

3 organizational owners listed — a facility can be part of a larger chain. CMS ownership data is known to under-report private-equity and REIT ties; treat as a starting point.

Follow the money — this home’s finances

Where a nursing home’s revenue comes from and where it goes — including money paid to companies under the same ownership. Most consumer sites never show this; we reproduce it straight from the Medicare cost report.

This home reported $169K paid to related parties (affiliated landlords or management companies) in its most recent cost report.

Source: CMS Healthcare Provider Cost Reporting Information System (HCRIS), Medicare cost report Form CMS-2540 · fiscal year 2023. Facilities self-file these reports; figures are unaudited and a year or two behind. A home with no Medicare cost report on file shows no figures here.

Cost & finances

Straight from this home’s Medicare cost report (CMS, FY2023). These are its operating economics — what it costs to run per resident-day and what it collects on average across Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay — not a private-pay quote. Your out-of-pocket cost depends on payer and room type, so ask the facility directly; a higher operating cost can reflect richer staffing or a sicker population. The cost-of-care planner shows regional benchmarks by care type.
