CMS source snapshot: 20 days old. These are historical CMS fields from a dated source release, not live proof of availability, certification status, an inspection outcome, or an individual's care fit.
Staffing in Nevada averages 4.32 nurse hours per resident per day (0.43 better than the national average). Citations average 32.5 per home (2.2 worse than the national average)— though citation counts reflect how aggressively a state's survey agency inspects, so they compare poorly across state lines.
