This home is ranked 160th out of 239 homes in Missouri.| 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.
| 7m per day | ▼ 75% State avg: 28m 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 10m per day | ▲ 71% State avg: 41m 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 42m per day | ▼ 27% State avg: 2h 20m 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.
| 2h 51m per day | ▼ 7% State avg: 3h 3m 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.
| 2m per day | ▼ 90% State avg: 20m per day · National avg: 29m per day |

Ways to qualify for care at this community, including accepted programs.
This facility is certified for eligible Medicare services.
In Missouri, the Department of Health and Senior Services, Division of Regulation and Licensure performs the inspections and unannounced surveys required for all long-term care providers.
The data displayed corresponds to the last 8 years.
Inspections are mandatory, regular evaluations conducted by state health departments or regulatory agencies. They ensure the community provides safe, compliant care, covering areas like resident health, staff and management.
Deficiencies indicate regulatory issues. A higher number implies the facility had several areas requiring improvement.
Missouri average: 35 deficiencies
The most recent inspection on December 12, 2025, identified deficiencies related to not honoring residents’ shower preferences and failing to provide RN coverage for at least eight consecutive hours daily. Earlier inspections showed a range of issues including inadequate assistance with bathing and personal hygiene, incomplete skin assessments, medication management errors, infection control lapses, and safety concerns such as improper transfer practices and food temperature problems. Complaint investigations related to shower preferences and RN coverage were substantiated, but enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. Prior complaints were mostly unsubstantiated or not noted. The facility’s inspection history shows ongoing challenges with resident care and staffing, with no clear pattern of improvement or worsening over time.
