Nursing staffing stands notably above state benchmarks across all categories.
Registered nurses dedicate 48 minutes daily per resident; an increase of 71% over Missouri’s 28-minute state average. Licensed practical nurses contribute 59 minutes per day per resident, outpacing the state average of 41 minutes by 44 percentage points. Nurse aides deliver 3 hours 2 minutes of direct care per resident per day, 30% above the state’s 2 hours 20 minutes average. These above-average ratios translate into more frequent clinical oversight, faster response to health changes, and greater hands-on assistance during daily activities.
Weekend staffing patterns maintain this advantage. Total weekend nursing hours reach 4 hours 14 minutes per resident daily; a 39% increase over the state’s 3-hour-3-minute benchmark. Weekend registered nurse coverage averages 31 minutes per day, 55% above the state average of 20 minutes, suggesting maintained clinical presence when many facilities reduce administrative support.
Quality outcome data corroborates the staffing investment. Among short-stay residents, emergency department visits reached zero; a significant gap below the state average of 13.4%. Falls with major injury were also reported at 0.0%, compared to the state average of 0.8%. At discharge, 100% of residents met or exceeded expected self-care ability, versus the state average of 53.7%. Successful return to home or community reached 64.9%, outperforming the state average of 50.6%.
Long-stay hospitalization metrics reflect the same pattern: 1.42 per 1,000 resident days, 32% lower than Missouri’s 2.08 average. Outpatient emergency department visits among long-stay residents averaged 0.93 per 1,000 days which is 60% better than the state average of 2.35.
Lenoir Woods fits families and residents seeking skilled short-term rehabilitation with above-average staffing presence, or memory care with intensive nursing support and demonstrated low-incident outcomes.
