Standout metric Physical Therapist is +60% above state avg
Staff typeHours / Day / Residentvs state avg
Registered Nurse (RN) Info RNs hold the highest nursing license and can assess residents, interpret test results, and direct care plans.

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. 1h 8m per day ▲ 26% State avg: 54m 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.

Weekend RN 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. 22m per day ▼ 41% State avg: 37m per day · National avg: 29m per day

The most recent inspection on August 7, 2024, found multiple deficiencies including locked unit doors restricting resident movement, failure to follow ophthalmologist recommendations, poor maintenance, inadequate supervision leading to resident elopement, incomplete nurse staffing records, improper food storage, and environmental repairs needed. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of issues related to resident dignity, care planning, medication administration, environment cleanliness, and timely reporting of abuse allegations. Complaint investigations found a substantiated failure to timely report an abuse allegation in October 2023, but no fines or enforcement actions were listed in the available reports. Prior deficiencies mainly involved resident care, safety, and documentation, with recurring concerns about environment and supervision. The facility’s deficiencies appear persistent over time, with no clear improvement trend evident from the reports.
