Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans.

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. 44m per day ▲ 10% State avg: 40m 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.

Inspection Reports Summary Info An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

  • The most recent inspection on September 5, 2024, identified multiple deficiencies related to resident care, sanitation, infection control, and staffing data accuracy. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues with resident dignity, supervision, medication management, and environmental sanitation, including prior findings in the beauty shop, kitchen, and refuse disposal areas. Inspectors cited concerns such as inadequate personal hygiene assistance, incomplete care plans for wandering residents, unsanitary food preparation, and failure to follow infection control protocols. A complaint investigation in May 2023 found the facility failed to protect residents from inappropriate sexual behaviors, though law enforcement did not substantiate abuse. The facility’s deficiencies have persisted over time with recurring themes in resident care and environment, indicating ongoing challenges rather than clear improvement.
