Staffing hours breakdown
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.
| Staff type | Hours / day | 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.
| 32m per day | ▼ 26% State avg: 43m per day · National avg: 41m 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 31m per day | ▼ 7% State avg: 2h 42m 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.
| 3h 24m per day | ▼ 5% State avg: 3h 35m 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.
| 1m per day | ▼ 50% State avg: 2m 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.
| 26m per day | ▼ 10% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 29m per day |

Inspection Report Summary for Osage Nursing Center
The most recent inspection on September 5, 2024, identified multiple deficiencies related to resident care, sanitation, infection control, and staffing data accuracy. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues with resident dignity, supervision, medication management, and environmental sanitation, including prior findings in the beauty shop, kitchen, and refuse disposal areas. Inspectors cited concerns such as inadequate personal hygiene assistance, incomplete care plans for wandering residents, unsanitary food preparation, and failure to follow infection control protocols. A complaint investigation in May 2023 found the facility failed to protect residents from inappropriate sexual behaviors, though law enforcement did not substantiate abuse. The facility’s deficiencies have persisted over time with recurring themes in resident care and environment, indicating ongoing challenges rather than clear improvement.
