| 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.
| 33m per day | ▼ 25% State avg: 44m 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 7m per day | ▼ 16% State avg: 2h 32m 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.
| 2h 52m per day | ▼ 14% State avg: 3h 21m 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 | ▼ 50% State avg: 2m 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.

Inspection Report Summary for Karen Acres Health Care Center
The most recent inspection on November 25, 2025, found the facility in compliance with no specific deficiencies detailed. Earlier inspections showed some deficiencies primarily related to resident transfers and accident prevention, with citations for failure to follow care plans resulting in residents being lowered to the floor during transfers, though no injuries were reported. Prior reports also noted issues with resident rights violations, food safety, infection control, and maintaining a safe environment, including a substantiated complaint about unauthorized video recording of a resident. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated except for a few substantiated cases involving resident dignity and abuse concerns. The facility appears to have addressed many prior deficiencies, showing improvement in recent inspections, although transfer-related issues persisted until the latest survey.
