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.

Staffing

How full it usually is: this home is certified for 33 beds and averages 30.5 residents a day — about 92% occupied, or roughly 2 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the hour requirements in April 2025 (CMS has appealed), Congress then barred enforcement until 2034, and CMS formally repealed them by rule effective February 2026.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 2.60 hrs/resident/day is below the 3.48-hour benchmark and RN staffing of 0.77 is at or above the 0.55-hour RN benchmark and nurse-aide staffing of 1.76 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 2.12 hrs/resident/day on weekends vs 2.80 on weekdays — 24% thinner on weekends — a notable drop. RN hours go from 0.83 to 0.62 per resident-day. (Payroll-based daily records; the national median home is 15% thinner on weekends.)

This home’s total nursing-staff turnover of 68% 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 unchanged from the previous inspection. 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 11 most serious are shown; the remaining 9 are one tap away and print in full.

This deficient practice likely resulted in resident not getting the care and assistance he needed, resulting in R #30 assaulting a staff member and being transferred to jail. The findings are: A. Record review of R #30's face sheet revealed R #30 was admitted into the facility on [DATE] with the following psychiatric diagnoses: 1. MAJOR DEPRESSIVE DISORDER 2.

  Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to store and serve food under sanitary conditions when staff failed to ensure: 1. Food items were labeled and dated in the kitchen refrigerator and freezer. 2. Food was stored appropriately and not left open to air in the kitchen freezer. These deficient practices are likely to affect all 32 residents listed on the resident census list provided by the Administrator on 04/21/25 and are likely lead to foodborne illnesses in residents if food is not being stored properly and safe food handling practices are not adhered to. The findings are: A.

  Based on observation and interviews, the facility failed to ensure there was a functioning call light system that allowed residents to call for assistance for 1 (R #13) of 5 (R #2, #3, #4, #5, and #13) residents observed for call lights. If the facility does not have a functioning communication system, then residents are unlikely to get their immediate needs met by facility staff. The findings are: A. On 04/22/25 at 9:17 am during a call light observation, R #13's call light was activated, but it did not sound at the nurse's station or the unit to alert staff of call light activation. The call light did not activate the marquee (electronic signage displaying room numbers) notification, the nurse's station visual alert or nurse's station audible alert. B.

  What the surveyor found here — the official record, unedited, may be distressing

  Based on observation and interview, the facility failed to ensure that all garbage and refuse containers have lids or are otherwise covered in the kitchen. This deficient practice could likely affect all 32 residents identified on the resident census list provided by the Administrator on 01/27/25. This deficient practice could likely result in shelter and feeding of pests. The findings are: A. On 01/30/25 at 11:45 am, observation of the kitchen revealed the following: - One small trash can filled with trash was not covered and stored under the dishwashing station next to an open box of muffins. - One large trash can was filled with trash and not covered next to the three compartment kitchen sinks and stove. B. On 01/30/25 at 11:48 am during an interview with the Dietary Manager (DM), he confirmed both trash cans were uncovered in the kitchen near food prep areas. The DM stated all trash cans should be stored with lids.

  Based on record review and interview, the facility failed to report the results of an investigation regarding allegations of abuse for 2 (R #'s 8 and 22 ) of 2(R #'s 8 and 22) residents reviewed for incidents. If the facility is not submitting the summary of the facility's investigation to the State Agency (SA), then the State Agency is unable to appropriately triage (review) the allegation for further investigation. The findings are: A. Refer to F0610 for related findings. B.

The ADM stated that R #8 only reported experiencing issues with the agency CNAs bedside manner towards him and R #22, but the facility could not define what bedside manner meant in this case. When asked if this could be considered verbal abuse, the ADM was unsure and stated she could not rule out verbal abuse with the information that was provided to her.

“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.
