CMS (the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) is the federal agency that rates nursing home quality. Its Overall Rating runs from 1 to 5 stars, combining health inspections, staffing, and quality measures, with inspections weighted most heavily.
CMS (the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) is the federal agency that rates nursing home quality. Its Overall Rating runs from 1 to 5 stars, combining health inspections, staffing, and quality measures, with inspections weighted most heavily.
Artesia Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center LLC, managed by administrator John Stewart at 1402 West Gilchrist Ave in Artesia’s Eddy County, is a 65-bed nursing home that accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private-pay residents. The facility structures its care around rehabilitation, with on-site wound care, diabetic management, IV therapy services, and occupational and physical therapy programming available daily. Twenty-four-hour staffing and around-the-clock RN coverage form the operational baseline.
Nursing hours clock in at 3 hours 49 minutes per resident daily, just slightly below the state average. Weekend RN hours run a notable 4% above state levels, which is unusual; most facilities thin their clinical oversight on weekends. LPN coverage, though, lags significantly: 27 minutes per resident per day against a state average of 43 minutes. The resulting staff-to-resident ratio sits meaningfully lower than comparable facilities, translating to fewer hands per bed overall.
Regulatory inspections since 2023 have surfaced 40 documented deficiencies across eight visits, more frequent than the state norm. Per-inspection deficiency counts average five, roughly double what state facilities record. The facility has avoided critical citations and reported only one serious violation, but the steady volume of moderate-level compliance gaps points to systemic rather than episodic operational friction.
The data on actual resident experience is less forgiving. Long-stay residents declined functionally at significantly elevated rates, and their walking capacity worsened at three times the state prevalence. Major falls affected nearly one in ten residents, against a 3.3% state baseline. The emergency department visit rate doubled the state norm, and depressive symptomatology spiked well beyond comparison.
These metrics sit at the core of the facility’s 1-star overall CMS rating and the markedly below-average quality-measures component. The admission payer mix is 56% Medicare short-stay rehabilitation, balanced against a 27-month average length of stay.
The staffing investment relative to revenue runs highest in the state (75.9% of facility revenue goes to payroll), yet clinical and functional outcomes for residents remain compromised.
The Overall CMS Rating combines results from health inspections, staffing levels and quality measures. Health inspections carry the most weight. Staffing and quality scores can increase or decrease the final rating based on performance compared to state and national standards.
Based on the results of the facility's three most recent standard inspections and any complaint investigations. CMS reviews the number, scope, and severity of deficiencies, with more recent findings weighted more heavily.
Measures average nursing staff hours per resident per day, including Registered Nurses (RNs) and total nursing staff. Ratings are adjusted based on the level of care residents require and are compared to state and national benchmarks.
Based on clinical and physical health indicators reported to CMS, such as hospital readmissions, falls, pressure ulcers, and improvements in mobility. These measures reflect how well residents' health needs are being managed.
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
This home is ranked 16th out of 53 homes in New Mexico for nurse hours. Total adjusted nursing hours per resident per day, combining RN, LPN, and aide time. CMS adjusts this for case-mix so facilities can be fairly compared.
| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | vs state avg |
|---|---|---|
|
Registered Nurse (RN)
RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes.
| 35m per day | ▼ 5% State avg: 37m per day · National avg: 41m per day |
|
LPN / LVN
Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) or Licensed Vocational Nurses (LVNs) deliver routine hands-on care — medication administration, wound dressing, and monitoring vital signs. They work under RN supervision and make up a large share of daily bedside care.
| 31m per day | ▼ 27% State avg: 43m per day · National avg: 52m per day |
|
Nurse Aide
Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life.
| 2h 11m per day | ▼ 3% State avg: 2h 14m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
Combined nursing hours (RN + LPN + Nurse Aide) per resident per day on weekends. Staffing often drops on weekends — this figure reveals whether the facility maintains adequate coverage outside of weekday hours.
| 2h 46m per day | ▼ 11% State avg: 3h 7m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day |
|
Physical Therapist
Hours per resident per day provided by licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) or PT Assistants. PT services help residents recover mobility after injury or illness and are especially important for post-acute (short-stay) rehabilitation.
| 3m per day | ▼ 48% State avg: 5m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
Weekend RN
Registered nurse hours specifically on weekends. Facilities sometimes reduce RN presence on Saturdays and Sundays — a low weekend RN figure compared to weekday hours can indicate reduced clinical oversight when most administrative staff are absent.
| 20m per day | ▼ 28% State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
