vs avg

6 of 6 metrics below 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. 32m per day ▼ 24% 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. 45m per day ▼ 18% 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. 1h 34m per day ▼ 24% 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 25m per day ▼ 24% 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. 15m per day ▼ 35% State avg: 23m per day · National avg: 28m per day

Inspection Report Summary for Putnam Center

The most recent inspection on June 8, 2025 found Putnam Center in substantial compliance with long-term care facility requirements and no deficiencies were cited. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies related primarily to resident care issues such as infection control lapses, medication administration and documentation, dignity concerns, and environmental safety including fire safety and emergency preparedness. Several complaint investigations were substantiated over time, involving issues like failure to maintain resident dignity, inadequate care planning, and staff registration lapses, but enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. Most complaints were unsubstantiated, and the facility has addressed many prior deficiencies through plans of correction and follow-up surveys. The trend suggests improvement, with recent inspections showing fewer and less extensive deficiencies compared to earlier years.
