| 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.
| 26m per day | ▼ 45% State avg: 47m 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 0m per day | ▲ 9% State avg: 55m 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 5m per day | ▼ 5% State avg: 2h 12m 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 13m per day | ▼ 9% State avg: 3h 31m 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.
| 9m per day | ▲ 50% 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.
| 18m per day | ▼ 45% State avg: 33m 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 October 23, 2025, identified deficiencies related to dementia care planning and the provision of resident activities. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues involving care planning, medication administration, environmental cleanliness, resident safety, and activity programming. Complaint investigations substantiated mental abuse by staff and medication errors leading to resident harm, including one incident resulting in emergency room transfer, but enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. Most complaints were unsubstantiated or addressed through accepted plans of correction, with some improvements noted in follow-up inspections. The facility’s inspection history shows ongoing challenges with resident care and safety, with some corrective actions implemented but recurring deficiencies in similar areas over time.
