At 1001 North Mountain Street in Carson City, Nevada, Sierra Basin Post Acute runs an 80-bed skilled nursing operation in a neighborhood rated moderately walkable, Walk Score 66. That means a resident’s family can handle some errands on foot, though a car still helps for most trips.
Beyond round-the-clock skilled nursing and outpatient therapy, the facility names coordinated palliative and hospice care, bariatric and digestive disease care, and cancer recovery support as distinct offerings. It also handles complex wound care, catheter management, tracheostomy care, and tube management, the kind of hands-on clinical work that separates a post-acute nursing facility from a purely residential one. An in-house rehab gym backs this up, with therapy and assessment services running six to seven days a week instead of once or twice.
Registered nurses log about an hour and five minutes per resident each day. LPNs add roughly another hour and ten minutes. Nurse aides contribute the largest share, at two and a half hours, bringing the combined nursing total to nearly four hours per resident daily.
Rooms are semi-private. Residents get nutrition and dietary services, a monthly activity calendar, and help with social outings and transportation. Medicare and private pay are both accepted, covering the two most common ways families fund a stay like this.
This is a place built for people who need real medical support after a hospital stay, or ongoing skilled nursing care that goes beyond daily living help.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Based on CMS SNF Cost Report for fiscal year ending in 12/2023.
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.
