Standout metric

| 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.
| 1h 9m per day | ▲ 19% State avg: 58m 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 53m per day | ▲ 12% State avg: 2h 35m 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.
| 4h 23m per day | ▲ 18% State avg: 3h 43m per day · National avg: 3h 26m 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.
| 1h 8m per day | ▲ 74% State avg: 39m per day · National avg: 29m per day |

Inspection Report Summary for Shady Lane Nursing Care Center
The most recent inspection on April 16, 2025, identified deficiencies related to fall interventions, opioid medication monitoring, infection prevention and control, and COVID-19 staff return-to-work practices. Earlier inspections showed mostly clean results, with no deficiencies found during the annual surveys in February 2023 and February 2024. A complaint investigation in November 2023 was substantiated for failure to notify a resident’s representative about worsening pressure injuries. No fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. The pattern suggests some emerging issues in clinical care and infection control after a period of compliance.
