| 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.
| 23m per day | ▼ 23% State avg: 30m 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 29m per day | ▲ 59% State avg: 56m 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 12m per day | ▲ 49% State avg: 2h 9m 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.
| 4h 38m per day | ▲ 49% State avg: 3h 6m 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 | ▼ 33% State avg: 3m 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.
| 8m per day | ▼ 60% State avg: 20m 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 June 8, 2025, included a routine survey that cited deficiencies related to incomplete Minimum Data Set assessments and missing physician orders for restraint use for two residents. Earlier inspections showed a mixed pattern with prior deficiencies involving resident care issues such as failure to investigate injuries, medication storage, and care plan adherence, as well as fire safety code violations. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated or substantiated without deficiencies, except for one substantiated complaint in 2021 involving failure to notify a physician of abnormal vital signs that resulted in resident death, which led to immediate jeopardy findings and corrective actions. No fines, license suspensions, or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. The facility’s recent survey results suggest ongoing challenges with documentation and resident care compliance, though some prior deficiencies have been corrected over time.
