A standard length of stay reaches about 129 days, signaling a varied routine that blends long-term care placements with short-term post-hospital rehabilitation. This mixed caseload utilizes about 70 beds, leaving the property at a 57 percent occupancy level. Around-the-clock staffing logs show an average of 4 hours and 43 minutes of total nursing care per resident daily, drawing on a combined team of registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse aides who handle specialized wound care, adult pulmonary needs, pediatric specialty lines, and on-site hemodialysis.
State safety files present a long-term look at the facility’s regulatory oversight history. Health department reports indicate that the management updated its building routines to clear previous inspection notes regarding infection control, medication setups, and life safety guidelines, keeping the current record clear of active enforcement penalties.
