| 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.
| 51m per day | ▲ 70% 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.
| 49m per day | ▼ 12% 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.
| 2h 8m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 2h 9m 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.
| 3h 19m per day | ▲ 7% 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 |
|
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.
| 39m per day | ▲ 95% 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 9, 2025, identified deficiencies related to failure to maintain the fire alarm system and smoke barrier doors. Prior inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies in care planning, infection control, medication management, and safety, including multiple citations for inadequate care plan implementation, expired medication storage, and fire safety issues. Several complaint investigations were substantiated, particularly involving wound care, medication diversion, and abuse, while many complaints were unsubstantiated. Enforcement actions included an Immediate Jeopardy finding in 2023 related to infection control during a COVID-19 outbreak and another in 2020 involving fall monitoring and care planning, both of which were resolved after corrective actions. The facility’s record shows ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance, especially in infection control and safety systems, with some corrections verified but recent inspections indicating persistent issues.
