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. 28m per day ▼ 37% State avg: 44m 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. 1h 3m per day ▲ 33% State avg: 47m 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 6m per day ▼ 10% State avg: 2h 20m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day

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. 18m per day ▼ 45% State avg: 32m per day · National avg: 29m per day

The Fountains of Melbourne Reviews

Rashard
Like to start off by saying this is a very poorly run establishment The Fountain of Melbourne HR department show many signs of non professionalism. I've been offered the offer letter have done my drug screen and also done my physical that was required of me .the only thing that was left of me to do was fingerprints .I waited a week and couples of days for someone text me to do a fingerprint no follow call and none from the mr.Rosado.it took me to go in an turn in an application which I already filled out previously, to then be told to give rosado a call .Rosado ends up calling ,an hes acting as if I went missing .hey we I've been "trying " to get in contact with you .I look through my phone no missed calls that whole day .just a text I miss to do fingerprint a week an a half in .it was a 24 hours in when I seen that text .an he said we didn't think you were interested any more . remember they didn't even call my phone . How can someone not be interested but then do the medical drug screening everything that is needed I missed a text that was a duration of 24 hours and was told that they thought I wasn't interested they wasted my time my energy my gas just a not even call me back just a send a text to say we're not interested anymore. the hr lacks professionalism and it should be heard. i also didn't get a warm welcome from the maintenance guys there also .Im very disappointed with the experience and how it was handled.What do you like most about living here? Answer: it has space but its overpriced an overrated Are there enough caregivers to handle the residents' needs, especially during emergencies?
