Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
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. 33m per day ▼ 18% State avg: 40m per day · National avg: 41m per day
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. 26m per day ▼ 43% State avg: 46m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info Certified Nurse Aides (CNAs) provide the most direct day-to-day assistance: bathing, dressing, feeding, and mobility.

The most recent inspection on June 19, 2025, found the facility in compliance with life safety and emergency preparedness requirements and identified no deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of life safety and emergency preparedness deficiencies, including failures in testing emergency lighting, fire drills, sprinkler inspections, and emergency exercises, as well as issues with kitchen safety and oxygen storage. Prior reports also cited resident care concerns such as improper use of physical restraints, failure to maintain resident dignity during meals, and inaccuracies in resident assessments, but no fines or license actions were listed in the available reports. Multiple complaint investigations were conducted, most of which were unsubstantiated, except for one substantiated complaint in March 2024 involving inadequate supervision that led to elopement and an immediate jeopardy situation that was later resolved.
