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. 44m per day ▲ 47% State avg: 30m 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. 45m per day ▼ 20% State avg: 56m 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.

Weekend RN 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. 33m per day ▲ 67% State avg: 20m per day · National avg: 29m per day

Decatur Center for Nursing and Healing Reviews

Becky Smith
I can’t believe it’s already been four years at this company! I started as a CNA and now I’m excited to be the activities director. It's definitely a bit of a challenge and very different from my previous role, but I feel like I've really stepped up to the occasion and am growing every day. We're having a blast! We’ve created a birthday club, and the outdoor activities we’ve planned have brought so much joy to our residents. They’re really happy and look forward to seeing what fun is in store each day!
Brenda Smith
I've been here for quite a while, because I love it here. I love my co-workers and my Patients.
