| 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.
| 1h 5m per day | ▲ 59% 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.
| 57m per day | ■ Avg 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 42m per day | ▲ 21% State avg: 2h 14m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
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 16m per day | ▲ 23% 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 |
|
Weekend RN
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.
| 42m per day | ▲ 45% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 28m per day |

The most recent inspection on November 20, 2025, did not identify any deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed a mixed record, with some surveys citing multiple deficiencies related to care planning, nursing practices, kitchen sanitation, and life safety code compliance. Prior reports also noted issues with staffing ratios, emergency lighting, fire extinguisher maintenance, and smoke barrier integrity, as well as fire safety practices including fire drills and generator maintenance. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated except for one in September 2024 that resulted in deficiencies related to the complaint allegations. The facility’s inspection history shows some recurring themes in safety and care documentation, with recent efforts appearing to address these concerns.
