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.	24m per day	▼ 41% State avg: 41m 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.	55m per day	■ Avg State avg: 56m 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 16m per day	■ Avg 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.	3h 20m per day	▼ 3% State avg: 3h 27m 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	▲ 17% State avg: 6m 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.	15m per day	▼ 48% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 29m 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 18, 2025, identified deficiencies related to inaccurate completion of Minimum Data Set assessments and inconsistent monitoring of wander guard systems. Earlier inspections showed a mixed pattern, with prior reports citing issues in resident care such as abuse investigations, incontinence care, medication administration, staffing ratios, infection control, and life safety code compliance. Complaint investigations substantiated failures in abuse investigations, personal hygiene care, and medication management, but fines or enforcement actions were not listed in the available reports. Staffing shortages and training gaps were recurring themes, along with documentation and safety system monitoring. The facility’s record shows some ongoing challenges, though the most recent inspection did not indicate new types of deficiencies beyond assessment and monitoring issues.
