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 54m per day	▲ 164% State avg: 43m 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 15m per day	▲ 19% State avg: 1h 3m 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 40m per day	▲ 13% State avg: 2h 22m 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.	5h 2m per day	▲ 39% State avg: 3h 38m 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.	23m per day	▲ 286% State avg: 6m 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.	1h 25m per day	▲ 173% State avg: 31m per day · National avg: 29m per day

Plaza Healthcare Reviews

I would strongly caution anyone considering Plaza Healthcare for their loved one. This facility is dangerously understaffed, and as a result, patients are receiving only the bare minimum level of care—if that. Unless a family member is present and actively advocating for a patient, they are often neglected. It’s incredibly disheartening to witness, especially considering that many of these patients cannot advocate for themselves.The staff seems visibly miserable and burnt out. They are often unfriendly, and even simple, routine care requests are met with eye rolls, huffing, and resistance. It's clear that many of the employees do not want to be there, and unfortunately, their attitude directly affects the vulnerable people they are supposed to be helping.I have personally witnessed patients being left to sit in their own feces for over three hours—despite repeated requests for help. You have to ask multiple times for anything to get done, and even then it takes hours. It’s unacceptable and deeply disturbing. These patients deserve dignity, compassion, and prompt care—not apathy.It’s also extremely concerning that some staff display outright disrespect and unprofessional behavior. I overheard one nurse say they weren’t going to do anything further for a patient simply because the patient’s family member had voiced concern over the lack of care. That kind of retaliation is unprofessional and unsafe.Plaza Healthcare either needs to stop accepting new patients or urgently hire and train more staff. There are simply not enough nurses to provide safe and humane care. In addition, the current staff would benefit greatly from training in professionalism, basic bedside manner, and respectful communication. The environment at this facility is toxic, and it shows in how patients are treated.Please, do not send your loved ones here. They deserve so much better.What do you like most about living here? Answer: NOTHING. Are there enough caregivers to handle the residents' needs, especially during emergencies? Answer: No Are the common areas pleasant and comfortable for socializing or relaxing? Answer: Yes How would you rate the quality and variety of the meals? (1-5) Answer: 4 Are special diets handled well? Answer: Yes Is the dining schedule flexible enough to meet your preferences? Answer: Yes How do you feel about the level of social interaction available with other residents? Answer: How was the units offered in this community? Answer: n/a Do you feel safe living in this community? Answer: No How well do you think the community handles emergencies or unexpected events?
