This home is ranked 9th out of 79 homes in Oregon.| 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.
|
32m per day | ▼ 22% 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.
|
1h 10m per day | ▲ 30% State avg: 54m 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.
|
3h 35m per day | ▲ 6% State avg: 3h 22m 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.
|
4h 58m per day | ▲ 13% State avg: 4h 23m 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 | ▼ 80% State avg: 5m 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.
|
30m per day | ▲ 15% State avg: 26m 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 June 6, 2025, identified multiple deficiencies related to residents' rights, grievance resolution, discharge notifications, qualified personnel, respiratory and pain management, pharmacy records, and the environment, with several issues not corrected on revisit. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of similar deficiencies involving resident rights, staffing, safe environment, care quality, and regulatory compliance, with many issues recurring despite revisits. Inspectors frequently cited problems in resident rights communication, staffing sufficiency, infection control, and medication management. Complaint investigations were conducted but were unsubstantiated or did not result in additional deficiencies. The overall trend indicates persistent challenges with compliance, as deficiencies have continued over time without clear improvement.
