| 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.
|
16m per day | ▼ 38% State avg: 26m 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.
|
52m per day | ▼ 9% State avg: 57m 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 50m per day | ▲ 40% State avg: 2h 1m 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 28m per day | ▲ 16% State avg: 2h 59m 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.
|
6m per day | ▲ 50% State avg: 4m 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.
|
13m per day | ▼ 38% State avg: 21m 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 December 18, 2024, found deficiencies related to residents’ privacy, baseline care planning, nursing competency including medication errors, medical record accuracy, and infection control practices. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues with pressure ulcer care, medication administration, and care plan updates, along with failures in following physician orders and maintaining respiratory equipment. Complaint investigations substantiated concerns about missed medication doses and inadequate pressure injury prevention, with actual harm noted in one case, but no fines or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. Prior reports also noted problems with maintaining resident dignity and medication management, including expired drugs on medication carts. The facility’s deficiencies appear consistent over time without a clear trend of improvement or worsening.
