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 / 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.
| 36m per day | ▼ 12% State avg: 41m 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.
| 42m per day | ▼ 25% State avg: 56m 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.
| 2h 11m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 2h 14m 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 3m per day | ▼ 12% State avg: 3h 27m 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.
| 6m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 6m 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.
| 32m per day | ▲ 10% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 29m per day |

An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on November 19, 2025, did not identify any deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed multiple deficiencies related to resident dignity and respect, infection control, medication administration, staffing levels, dietary services, and safety concerns. Complaint investigations mostly found the facility in compliance, though a substantiated complaint in July 2025 noted untimely incontinence care for some residents. The facility received an immediate jeopardy citation in December 2023 related to food consistency but resolved it promptly, and no fines or license actions were listed in the available reports. Inspection results suggest ongoing challenges in care and environment standards with some recent improvements but no clear overall trend.
