| 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.
| 56m per day | ▲ 115% State avg: 26m 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 3m per day | ▲ 11% State avg: 57m 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.
| 1h 58m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 2h 1m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day |
|
Total Nursing (Weekend)
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 34m per day | ▲ 19% State avg: 2h 59m 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.
| 15m per day | ▲ 275% State avg: 4m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
RN (Weekend)
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.
| 28m per day | ▲ 33% State avg: 21m 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 December 9, 2025, identified deficiencies related to respiratory care, specifically failures in tracheostomy care that placed a resident at immediate jeopardy, though the facility later removed the immediate jeopardy status. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues including wound care deficiencies, medication administration errors, discharge planning failures, and missed dialysis treatments. Inspectors cited problems mainly in respiratory care, wound management, medication administration, and discharge documentation. Several complaint investigations were substantiated, including failures in wound care leading to hospitalization and inadequate discharge planning resulting in rehospitalization, but enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s deficiencies have persisted over time with some corrective actions noted, but recent findings indicate ongoing challenges in clinical care processes.
