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. 58m per day ▲ 4% State avg: 56m 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 June 4, 2025, found no deficiencies during an abbreviated survey that investigated multiple complaints, some of which were substantiated but did not result in citations. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of isolated deficiencies primarily related to food labeling and dating, as well as fire safety and life safety code compliance issues, including problems with fire alarm and sprinkler maintenance and electrical safety. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, with no enforcement actions, fines, or license suspensions listed in the available reports. Prior deficiencies related to food storage and fire safety were corrected in subsequent surveys, and the facility demonstrated substantial compliance in recent years. This suggests an overall improvement trend in addressing prior issues.
