Staffing & Workforce

Direct-care staffing is the strongest operational driver of quality in nursing homes. Values are hours per resident per day, derived from payroll-based journal (PBJ) submissions. "Case-mix" adjusts for resident acuity; "Adjusted" is the CMS rating-input value.

Role Reported Case-mix expected Adjusted Federal floor
Total nurse
All nursing staff combined: RN + LPN + Aide
 3.38 3.64 3.59 ≥ 3.48 Below floor
Registered Nurse (RN)
Licensed RN hours. Strongest driver of clinical outcomes.
 0.52 0.64 0.55 ≥ 0.55 Below floor
Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)
LPN/LVN hours. Often handles medication administration.

Health Inspections

CMS weights three inspection cycles to compute the Health Inspection rating: the most recent (50%), the second most recent (33%), and the oldest (17%). Each standard-survey deficiency is assigned a score based on scope and severity; complaint-survey findings and revisit scores are added to produce the cycle total.

Cycle Date Total defs. Standard Complaint Deficiency score Revisits Total score
Cycle 1 (most recent) 2024-10-11 4 3 1 91 1 91
Cycle 2/3 (prior) 2023-08-17 18 6 13 128 1 128

Deficiencies (29)

Individual survey findings. Scope/severity uses the CMS A–L matrix: letters further down the alphabet indicate greater harm and wider scope, up through J–L (immediate jeopardy).

1 A/B/C No actual harm — minor
24 D/E/F Actual harm — potential for minor
3 G/H/I Actual harm
