| 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.
| 1h 8m per day | ▲ 84% State avg: 37m 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.
| 56m per day | ▲ 30% State avg: 43m 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.
| 2h 46m per day | ▲ 24% State avg: 2h 14m 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 2m per day | ▲ 30% State avg: 3h 7m 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.
| 26m per day | ▲ 420% State avg: 5m 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.
| 1h 3m per day | ▲ 125% State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 29m per day |

An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on March 27, 2025, identified deficiencies related to timely completion of discharge assessments, meal service, sanitary food storage, and maintenance of eye washing stations. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues involving resident care documentation, infection control, medication management, and food safety, with some deficiencies resulting in actual harm and an immediate jeopardy finding in October 2024 related to missed heart medications contributing to a resident’s death. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, except for the October 2024 case with substantiated deficiencies and immediate jeopardy, and a few earlier substantiated complaints involving residents’ rights and care coordination. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s deficiencies have persisted over time with some recurring themes, and recent inspections suggest ongoing challenges without a clear trend of sustained improvement.
