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.

49.7% 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 39 Medicare stays in Oct 2022–Sep 2024, and CMS’s own comparison — not ours.

Met the expected recovery: 54.5% 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 33 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: not reported. This home filed no therapist hours at all in its payroll data for this quarter. That is a gap in what it reported, and we do not read it as an absence of therapy — the homes that file nothing here include ones that discharged hundreds of Medicare rehab patients in the very same period, who plainly received therapy from someone. Because we cannot tell a home that under-reports from one that genuinely provides little, this home is left out of the comparison above rather than scored at zero. Ask it directly how many therapist hours a rehab resident gets, and on which days.

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 43 beds and averages 31.4 residents a day — about 73% occupied, or roughly 12 beds typically open. It usually has some room. 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 5.43 hrs/resident/day is at or above the 3.48-hour benchmark and RN staffing of 1.24 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 3.85 hrs/resident/day on weekends vs 6.08 on weekdays — 37% thinner on weekends — a notable drop. RN hours go from 1.46 to 0.69 per resident-day. (Payroll-based daily records; the national median home is 15% thinner on weekends.)

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.

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

  NOTE- TERMS IN BRACKETS HAVE BEEN EDITED TO PROTECT CONFIDENTIALITY Based on observation and interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure residents were treated with dignity and respect. This was evident during observation of 19 rooms on 1 unit (Decker Unit) during the survey. The findings include: On 01/29/25 at 08:16 AM, the initial observation of the facility revealed rooms 406, 413, 416, 418, 419, 420, 421, 422, 424, 425, 426, 427, 428, 429, 430, 431, 432, 434, 435, which had over-the-door organizers on the outside of the doors. The organizers contained various resident care items, including briefs. On 01/31/25 at 08:15 AM, an interview with Resident #28, who resided in room [ROOM NUMBER], revealed that he/she did not know why the organizers were on the outside of the resident room door and was unhappy about it due to a privacy concern. On 01/31/25 at 2:05 PM, at the time of exit, the surveyor reviewed the concern regarding the failure to ensure residents are treated with dignity and respect.

  Based on observation and interview, it was determined that the facility failed to ensure a resident's medical record was protected from public view. This was evident for 1 of 2 medication carts (400 hallway medication cart) observed during the survey. The findings include: On 01/30/25 at 07:57 AM, an observation on the Decker Unit revealed a medication cart on the 400 hallway which revealed a computer screen open with Resident #21's name, date of birth , and Medication Administration Record (MAR). The same medication cart which the computer was on was unlocked, which would allow anyone to open medication cart drawers with several resident medications inside. On 01/30/25 at 08:00 AM, an observation revealed Registered Nurse Supervisor (RN #22) walked up to the medication cart and closed out of the screen which was revealing Resident #21's information and locked the cart. The surveyor approached RN #22 and asked if she was assigned to the medication cart at the time, she indicated yes.

  Based on record reviews and interviews, it was determined that facility staff failed to update the residents' (#8) Minimum Data Set to accurately reflect the resident's medical condition, and failed to code the residents' (#16, #31) status accurately on the Minimum Data Set (MDS) assessment. This occurred for 3 (#8, #16, #31) out of 3 residents reviewed during the annual survey. The findings include: The Minimum Data Set (MDS) is a federally mandated assessment tool that helps nursing home staff gather information on each resident's strengths and needs. The information collected drives resident care planning decisions. MDS assessments need to be accurate to ensure each resident receives the care they need. The Assessment Reference Date (ARD) is the specific end point of look-back periods of resident status for the MDS assessment process. 1) On 01/31/25 at 7:38 AM, a review of Resident #8's treatment administration record for December 2024 revealed an order to apply Optifoam (foam wound dressing) pad to sacrum topically every day.

  Based on record review and staff interview, the facility failed to ensure a resident received care based on professional standards. This was evident for 1 (Resident #16) of 2 residents reviewed for skin conditions. The findings include: On 01/29/25 at 08:18 AM, an initial observation of Resident #16 revealed a small bruise-like area on the his/her left clavicle. On 01/30/25 at 10:21 AM, review of Resident #16's medical record failed to reveal documentation indicating the skin condition was identified. On 01/30/25 12:17 PM, an interview with the Quality Assurance Nurse (Staff #20) revealed that she was assigned to Resident #16. She indicated she was not aware of Resident #16's current skin conditions. The surveyor and Staff #20 walked to the residents room and the surveyor pointed out the area of concern on his/her left clavicle. Staff #20 said that the resident has ecchymosis. On 01/30/25 at 12:20 PM, the surveyor requested documentation of Resident #16's weekly skin checks from Staff #20.

“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.

Who owns this facility

CMS files one row per role, so the 20 rows in the source record cover these 17 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.

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.

A reported operating loss is common in this industry and is not by itself a sign of trouble — but paired with large related-party payments it can mean profit is being taken elsewhere in the ownership structure.

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.
