The Northern Nevada State Veterans Home (NNSVH) redefines the concept of a nursing home veterans would adore. This 102,000 square foot, 96-bed facility prioritizes skilled care in a non-institutional environment. Veterans cherish the privacy of individual rooms, while also having den, living room, and kitchen areas shared with other residents. The “Town Hall” plays a central role, housing facilities like a restaurant, sports bar, therapy gym, beauty/barber shop, and a platform for Veteran Service Organizations.
Overseen by the Nevada Department of Veterans Services and managed by Avalon Health Care Management, NNSVH offers short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, and memory care. Their service model ranges from assistance in daily living to specialized care following hospital stays. Distinctly, their memory care community concentrates on engaging activities for veterans managing dementia. In essence, NNSVH offers a comprehensive approach to caring for America’s veterans.
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 1st out of 44 homes in Nevada. 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 5m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 1h 4m 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.
| 53m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 54m 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.
| 3h 6m per day | ▲ 30% State avg: 2h 23m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day |
|
Total Nursing (Weekend)
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 15m per day | ▲ 10% State avg: 3h 51m 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.
| 4m per day | ▼ 20% State avg: 5m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
RN (Weekend)
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.
| 43m per day | ▼ 16% State avg: 51m per day · National avg: 29m per day |

Enforcement actions included staff suspensions and terminations, but fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s inspection history shows ongoing challenges with staff compliance and resident care protocols, with no clear pattern of sustained improvement.
