Staff type Hours / Day / Resident vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans.

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. 51m per day ▲ 11% State avg: 46m 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. 9m per day ▼ 68% State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 28m 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 November 13, 2024, identified multiple Level 2 deficiencies in health and life safety codes, all of which were corrected within a month or two. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of similar Level 2 deficiencies related mainly to activities of daily living (ADL) care, care planning, food sanitation, resident rights, and life safety systems, with all issues addressed promptly after each survey. Complaint investigations were not substantiated, and no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. Prior reports also noted a single infection control deficiency during a COVID-19 survey, which was corrected quickly. The facility’s record shows recurring issues primarily in resident care and environmental safety, but timely corrections suggest ongoing efforts to maintain compliance.
