Staffing hours breakdown

Hours per resident per day — compared to state averages

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.	18m per day	▼ 57% State avg: 42m 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.	1h 5m per day	▲ 41% State avg: 46m 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.	1h 57m per day	▼ 11% State avg: 2h 11m per day · National avg: 2h 20m 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.	2h 47m per day	▼ 12% State avg: 3h 10m 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.	7m per day	■ Avg State avg: 7m 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.	8m per day	▼ 71% State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 28m per day

Inspection Reports Summary An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

The most recent inspection on November 7, 2023, found one deficiency related to notifying of changes in injury, decline, or room, which was corrected. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily in quality of care areas such as activities, ADL care, respiratory care, accident hazards, and transfer procedures, along with life safety issues including electrical systems, fire drills, and sprinkler maintenance. Complaint investigations did not identify any substantiated complaints, and no fines or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. Prior citations were corrected promptly, and the facility appears to have addressed many of the broader issues noted in earlier inspections. The trend suggests improvement over time, with fewer and more focused deficiencies in the most recent report.
