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. 35m per day ▼ 34% State avg: 53m 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.

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. 55m per day ▲ 90% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 28m per day

The most recent inspection on December 8, 2025, did not identify any deficiencies and confirmed the facility’s substantial compliance with health requirements. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to accuracy of resident assessments, including coding hospice services and PASARR screenings, as well as issues with resident supervision and safety, such as a substantiated fall causing a hip fracture and malfunctioning call light systems. Complaint investigations included substantiated cases involving resident abuse, improper use of assistive devices during transport, and medication transfer errors, but no fines or license actions were listed in the available reports. Prior deficiencies also involved food safety, infection control, and care plan updates, with corrective actions documented in follow-up plans of correction. The facility’s record shows improvement over time, with recent inspections reflecting fewer and less varied deficiencies compared to earlier years.
