Staffing hours breakdown
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
| 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.
| 29m per day | ▼ 31% State avg: 42m 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.
| 2h 33m per day | ▲ 12% State avg: 2h 17m 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 50m per day | ▲ 12% State avg: 3h 25m 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.
| 2m per day | ▼ 60% 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.
| 18m per day | ▼ 36% State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 29m per day |

Inspection Report Summary for Masonic Healthcare Center
The most recent inspection on January 15, 2025, found no deficiencies and confirmed that all previously identified issues were corrected. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to resident care, including improper transfer techniques resulting in injury, failure to manage and document behaviors and incontinence properly, and issues with restraint use and social service support. Several complaint investigations substantiated concerns such as neglect, mistreatment, misappropriation of resident property, and infection control lapses, though enforcement actions like staff suspensions and terminations were noted rather than fines or license suspensions. No fines or license enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. The facility’s recent clean inspection suggests improvement following prior citations and corrective actions.
