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. 53m per day ▲ 77% State avg: 30m 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.

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 June 5, 2025, found deficiencies related to incomplete investigation of a resident theft allegation and several other issues including psychotropic medication consent, care plan updates, pressure ulcer care, fall prevention, dialysis policies, and infection control. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies involving resident care, safety, infection control, and meal service, as well as substantiated complaints of staff verbal abuse and inadequate abuse investigations. Inspectors cited failures to protect residents from verbal abuse, incomplete investigations of abuse and theft allegations, and lapses in infection prevention and quality assurance practices. Complaint investigations were substantiated in cases of verbal abuse, resulting in staff termination, but most other complaints were unsubstantiated or lacked thorough follow-up. The facility’s recent inspection results indicate ongoing challenges with resident care and investigation processes, with no clear improvement trend evident.
