| Staff type | Hours / day | 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.
| 36m per day | ▼ 5% State avg: 38m per day · National avg: 41m 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.
| 3h 8m per day | ▲ 26% State avg: 2h 29m 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.
| 4h 2m per day | ▲ 15% State avg: 3h 31m 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.
| 1m per day | ▼ 50% State avg: 2m 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.

Inspection Report Summary for Jefferson County Nursing Home
The most recent inspection on August 21, 2025, found no deficiencies during complaint investigations related to quality of care. Earlier inspections showed a mixed record, with the May 15, 2025 annual survey citing deficiencies in mental health assessments, skin evaluations, and incontinence care. Prior complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, except for a substantiated case in January 2024 involving failure to protect a resident from misappropriation of property and exploitation by staff, though no enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were listed in the available reports. The main recurring issues involved resident care coordination, particularly related to assessments and incontinence management, as well as staff oversight in preventing exploitation. The facility appears to have addressed prior deficiencies with corrective actions and has shown improvement in recent complaint investigations.
