Staffing hours breakdown
Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
| Staff type | Hours / day | 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 16m per day | ▲ 100% State avg: 38m 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.
| 9m per day | ▼ 86% State avg: 1h 5m 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.
| 4h 13m per day | ▲ 70% State avg: 2h 29m 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 24m per day | ▲ 25% State avg: 3h 31m per day · National avg: 3h 26m 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.
| 55m per day | ▲ 150% State avg: 22m per day · National avg: 29m per day |

Inspection Report Summary for Reginald P. White Nursing Facility
The most recent inspections on December 11, 2025, found no deficiencies during complaint investigations related to a resident fall and health privacy concerns. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily involving resident care, such as failure to follow care plans during mechanical lift transfers resulting in a resident fall, and infection control issues including improper hand hygiene and PPE use during medication administration and wound care. The facility faced an Immediate Jeopardy citation in early 2025 related to physical abuse and failure to report incidents promptly, which was removed after corrective actions were implemented. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated aside from the noted fall incident and abuse case, and no fines or license actions were listed in the available reports. The trend suggests the facility has addressed many prior issues, with recent inspections showing compliance and no new deficiencies cited.
