| 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.
| 1h 5m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 1h 4m 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.
| 43m per day | ▼ 20% 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.
| 2h 8m per day | ▼ 10% State avg: 2h 23m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
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 25m per day | ▼ 11% State avg: 3h 51m 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.
| 8m per day | ▲ 60% State avg: 5m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
Weekend RN
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.
| 41m per day | ▼ 20% State avg: 51m 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 July 1, 2025 identified deficiencies related to personnel records, including delayed fingerprinting and background checks, incomplete dementia-specific training, and missing cultural competency training for some employees. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies in personnel compliance as well as resident care issues such as incomplete care plans, medication management errors, infection control lapses, and documentation inaccuracies. Complaint investigations over time included substantiated cases involving resident-to-resident abuse, medication diversion, discharge planning failures, and environmental cleanliness, while many other complaints were found unsubstantiated. Enforcement actions included a $400 fine in 2009, and no license suspensions or immediate jeopardy findings were listed in the available reports. The facility’s inspection history shows ongoing challenges with staff training and care planning, with some recent focus on personnel record compliance but no clear overall improvement or worsening trend.
