Sunset Manor Avera operates a skilled nursing and physical rehabilitation community on East Clay Street in Irene, South Dakota. The property manages the Sunrise Villa Rehabilitative Program, providing medical recovery care for seniors transitioning out of hospital stays after severe strokes, major surgeries, or acute illnesses. Carrying a neighborhood walk score of 11, the rural facility grounds are entirely car-dependent, meaning local relatives and out-of-town visitors will need a vehicle to travel to the campus or handle retail errands.
The therapy department organizes care targets based on individual recovery trajectories and long-term medical needs. The clinical floor provides combined daily support averaging 35 minutes of direct attention from registered nurses, 52 minutes from licensed practical nurses, and three hours and 30 minutes from certified nurse aides per resident. This continuous staffing mix forms the baseline for the facility’s daily medication administration, wound care, and personal hygiene assistance.
Prospective families can call the administrative office to verify open bed numbers or to discuss the clinical admission criteria. The front desk team can explain how their billing system integrates different public or private payment pathways and help you set up an appointment to see the rehabilitation gym and resident spaces.
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.
| 35m per day | ▼ 27% State avg: 48m 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.
| 52m per day | ▲ 79% State avg: 29m 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.
| 3h 30m per day | ▲ 34% State avg: 2h 37m per day · National avg: 2h 21m 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 | ▲ 29% State avg: 3h 19m 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 | ▼ 67% State avg: 3m 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.
| 26m per day | ▼ 16% State avg: 31m per day · National avg: 29m per day |
