Staffing Info Nursing care per resident per day and state rankings: CMS Provider Information.

Daily care time per resident, by role

Registered nurse (RN) Info 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.
24m ↓ 35% · NM 37mThis facility: 24m per resident per day, 35% below the New Mexico average of 37m (among New Mexico facilities reporting a recent figure).
US average: 41m.Green: 5% or more better than the state average. Yellow: within 5%. Red: 5% or more worse. US 41m
LPN / LVN Info 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.
29m ↓ 33% · NM 43mThis facility: 29m per resident per day, 33% below the New Mexico average of 43m (among New Mexico facilities reporting a recent figure).
US average: 52m.Green: 5% or more better than the state average. Yellow: within 5%. Red: 5% or more worse. US 52m
Certified nursing assistant Info 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 17m ↑ 2% · NM 2h 14mThis facility: 2h 17m per resident per day, 2% above the New Mexico average of 2h 14m (among New Mexico facilities reporting a recent figure).
US average: 2h 20m.Green: 5% or more better than the state average. Yellow: within 5%. Red: 5% or more worse. US 2h 20m
Total nursing, weekends Info 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. RN + LPN + aide · Sat–Sun
3h 7m ≈ 0% · NM 3h 7mThis facility: 3h 7m per resident per day, level with the New Mexico average of 3h 7m (among New Mexico facilities reporting a recent figure).
US average: 3h 26m.Green: 5% or more better than the state average. Yellow: within 5%. Red: 5% or more worse. US 3h 26m
RN, weekends Info 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. Sat–Sun
17m ↓ 39% · NM 28mThis facility: 17m per resident per day, 39% below the New Mexico average of 28m (among New Mexico facilities reporting a recent figure).
US average: 28m.Green: 5% or more better than the state average. Yellow: within 5%. Red: 5% or more worse. US 28m
