5/5
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.
One hundred percent occupancy and a 21-day average stay. Those two numbers define what Advanced Health Care of Albuquerque is: a short-stay post-acute rehabilitation facility running at capacity. Every one of its 47 beds at 2701 Richmond Dr NE in Albuquerque’s Duke City Industrial Area is filled, and the residents cycling through them are there for a defined, clinical purpose before returning home.
The rehabilitation infrastructure supports that model. Inpatient rehabilitation services are on-site. Twenty-four-hour nursing care is in place. Total nursing staff time runs 3 hours and 56 minutes per resident per day, with registered nurses accounting for 1 hour and 8 minutes of that directly. Private suites house residents during their stay; a library, beauty salon, private dining room, and fireplace fill out the setting. Restaurant-style dining draws on fresh and seasonal ingredients.
State inspections have tended to focus on medication management, infection prevention and control, care planning and documentation, and dietary and food service. Medicare and private pay are accepted; Medicaid is not, though at 21 days average and a near-total Medicare payer mix, this is rarely a placement issue for the rehabilitation population this facility serves. Administrator Edwardo Rivera leads operations under the Advanced Health Care brand.
What Advanced Health Care of Albuquerque is, plainly, is a tight, full-capacity short-stay nursing home with a focused clinical identity: post-acute rehabilitation, private suites, and a premium amenity footprint, in a moderately walkable Albuquerque neighborhood 3 miles from the city center.
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 14th 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.
| 1h 8m per day | ▲ 85% 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.
| 1h 1m per day | ▲ 41% 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 49m per day | ▲ 26% State avg: 2h 14m per day · National avg: 2h 21m 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.
| 4h 24m per day | ▲ 41% 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.
| 19m per day | ▲ 289% 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.
| 1h 7m per day | ▲ 140% State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
