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.
Over 14 acres adjacent to Rock Creek Park, Ingleside at Rock Creek operates as a Continuing Care Retirement Community offering nursing care, assisted living, memory care, and home-based services in Northwest Washington. The nonprofit institution, owned by Bruce Bartels and led by Executive Director Jason Basile (15+ years in senior living administration), has expanded its footprint significantly over the past decade. The skilled nursing component currently houses 27 residents at 95.1% occupancy, the second-highest census in DC, with a primarily Medicare short-stay population (87% of admissions, 24-day average) supplemented by private-pay long-term residents (17-year average) and minimal Medicaid presence (1%).
Staffing investment is genuine. The nursing care commitment reaches 5 hours 31 minutes per resident per day, nearly 31% above the DC state average, with a staff-to-resident ratio of 3.44:1; 85% better than state norms. Yet the facility relies heavily on contractor labor (24.3% of staffing) and maintains the lowest payroll-to-revenue ratio in DC at 33.4%.
The quality paradox emerges in resident outcomes: despite abundant staffing, the facility reports functional decline rates 65% worse than state, incontinence 60% worse than average, and falls with major injury at 188% of the state rate; troubling findings that suggest care quality gaps exist beneath the staffing numbers. Two penalties totaling $39,000 in the past three years (60% lower than state average) indicate moderate compliance, and the facility achieved 100% influenza vaccination but fell short on pneumococcal coverage at 81.8% (state average 90.4%).
Financially, the facility operates under ongoing stress: a $1.9 million operating loss in 2023 following a $12.1 million loss in 2022. Occupancy recovery to 95.1% from pandemic lows (73.6% in 2019) reflects strong demand for the campus and its accredited programs (CARF, SAGECare Platinum, Fortune’s Best Workplaces in Aging Services), yet profitability remains elusive.
The 14-acre campus provides both active and restorative amenities: walking access directly into Rock Creek Park, an indoor pool for therapy and recreation, a theater for resident programming, and an on-site wellness and medical clinic. Memory care assisted living, skilled nursing rehabilitation, and an adult day program address varying care needs. The lifestyle orientation reflected in the art studio, fitness center, and salon, signals the community’s focus on residents able to engage in independent or supported-independent activities. Accreditations in LGBTQ+ equality and Great Places to Work reflect mission-driven operations.
The community attracts affluent and mission-aligned residents seeking an integrated retirement campus with extensive wellness amenities; the concerning outcome metrics warrant direct clinical inquiry.
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 2nd out of 9 homes in District of Columbia 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.
| 2h 24m per day | ▲ 27% State avg: 1h 54m 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.
| 21m per day | ▼ 51% State avg: 44m 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 47m per day | ▲ 6% State avg: 2h 38m 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.
| 4h 59m per day | ▲ 6% State avg: 4h 41m per day · National avg: 3h 27m 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.
| 11m per day | ▲ 38% State avg: 8m 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.
| 2h 3m per day | ▲ 31% State avg: 1h 34m per day · National avg: 29m per day |

Net patient revenue — what the home actually collects for resident care, after contractual allowances, bad debt and discounts are subtracted from its gross charges (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It covers resident care only; money the home earns from other sources is shown separately as "Other income."
Net patient income: net patient revenue minus the home's total operating expenses. A positive figure means it earns more from resident care than it spends to deliver it; a negative figure means the opposite. It excludes non-operating "other income."

Money the home earns outside of resident care — such as investments, grants, rentals and other non-operating sources (CMS cost report, Worksheet G-3). It is tracked separately from net patient revenue: it is not part of that figure, and it is not included in net patient income.
Staff salaries plus wage-related costs — benefits such as payroll taxes, health insurance and retirement — from the home's own accounting records (CMS cost report, Worksheet A). Contract or agency labor is counted separately, under other operating costs.
