5 of 6 metrics below state avg

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.

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. 57m per day ■ Avg State avg: 57m 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. 14m per day ▼ 33% State avg: 21m 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 November 26, 2025, found deficiencies related to the use of physical restraints, specifically pillows tucked under mattresses restricting movement for two residents. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues including medication errors, incomplete care plans, inadequate assistance with activities of daily living, food safety violations, pest control problems, and failures in resident dignity and supervision. Complaint investigations substantiated several concerns such as medication administration errors, failure to prevent elopement, and inadequate abuse reporting, with one immediate jeopardy finding related to sexual abuse and elopement that was later resolved. Enforcement actions included suspension and termination of staff involved in medication errors and abuse allegations, but fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s deficiencies have persisted over time with some corrective actions taken, though recent inspections continue to identify similar types of issues.
