Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info 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. 39m per day ▼ 30% State avg: 56m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info 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. 37m per day ▲ 23% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info 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. 1h 55m per day ▼ 24% State avg: 2h 32m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day

Physical Therapist Info 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. 13m per day ▲ 225% State avg: 4m per day · National avg: 4m per day
RN (Weekend) Info 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. 29m per day ▼ 29% State avg: 41m per day · National avg: 29m per day

Inspection Reports Summary Info An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

The most recent inspection on April 10, 2025, identified deficiencies related to inaccessible call lights for several residents and failure to prevent elopements by a resident who exited the facility unsupervised. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of similar issues with call light accessibility and elopement prevention, as well as concerns about facility maintenance, infection control, respiratory care, and resident safety. Complaint investigations substantiated incidents of neglect, inadequate supervision, and failure to protect residents from abuse, but no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or license actions were listed in the available reports. Most complaints were substantiated, including a notable case involving sexual abuse between residents and another involving improper oxygen removal leading to hypoxia. The inspection history indicates ongoing challenges with resident safety and care planning, with no clear improvement trend over time.
