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. More RN hours per day often signals stronger clinical oversight and faster response to health changes. 1h 35m per day ▼ 3% State avg: 1h 38m per day · National avg: 41m per day
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. 17m per day ▼ 19% State avg: 21m 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. Nurse aide hours are typically the largest staffing category and directly affect residents' quality of life. 2h 43m per day ■ Avg State avg: 2h 44m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day

RN (Weekend) 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. 1h 17m per day ▲ 4% State avg: 1h 14m per day · National avg: 29m per day

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 December 24, 2025, identified a deficiency related to the facility’s failure to provide a comprehensive Water Management Program to prevent Legionella and other waterborne pathogens. Earlier inspections showed multiple deficiencies involving resident care, infection control, medication management, and timely reporting of abuse, with recurring issues around call light accessibility and documentation accuracy. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated except for one substantiated case regarding call light placement, which the facility disputed. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The inspection history indicates ongoing challenges with infection control and resident care practices, with no clear pattern of consistent improvement over time.
