vs avg

4 of 6 metrics below state avg

Standout metric RN (Weekend) is +4% above state avg
Staff type Hours / day vs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info 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. 28m per day ▼ 33% State avg: 42m per day · National avg: 41m per day
LPN / LVN Info 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. 49m per day ▼ 11% State avg: 55m per day · National avg: 52m per day
Nurse Aide Info 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 3m per day ■ Avg State avg: 2h 4m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day
Total Nursing (Weekend) Info 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 50m per day ▼ 11% State avg: 3h 11m per day · National avg: 3h 26m per day
Physical Therapist Info 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 ▼ 33% State avg: 3m per day · National avg: 4m per day
RN (Weekend) Info 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. 24m per day ▲ 4% State avg: 23m per day · National avg: 28m per day

The most recent inspection on June 10, 2025 found the facility in compliance with all Federal and State Life Safety Code requirements and the Facility Emergency Preparedness Plan, with no deficiencies cited. Prior inspections showed a pattern of multiple deficiencies related mainly to resident care issues such as failure to report and prevent abuse, medication management errors, inadequate staffing, infection control lapses, and failure to maintain a safe and homelike environment. Several complaint investigations were substantiated over time, including notable cases involving abuse, neglect, medication errors, and environmental hazards, though many complaints were unsubstantiated.
