This home is ranked 62nd out of 79 homes in Oregon.| 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.
| 43m per day | ▲ 5% State avg: 41m 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 0m per day | ▲ 11% State avg: 54m 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.
| 3h 28m per day | ▲ 3% State avg: 3h 22m per day · National avg: 2h 20m 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 17m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 4h 23m 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.
| 5m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 5m 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.
| 25m per day | ▼ 4% State avg: 26m per day · National avg: 28m per day |
Most residents typically stay for a few weeks or months before returning home or moving on.

An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.
The most recent inspection on June 4, 2025, found no deficiencies, although two initial comment citations remained uncorrected at the time of the visit. Earlier inspections showed a mixed pattern, with several reports noting multiple deficiencies related mainly to resident care, abuse prevention, care planning, staffing, and infection control. Complaint investigations were not substantiated, and there were no fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or enforcement actions listed in the available reports. Prior reports also cited issues with documentation and notification processes, and some deficiencies were not corrected upon revisits. The recent clean inspection suggests some improvement compared to earlier findings.
