Daily nursing hours per resident by staff type, reported to CMS. Higher is generally better — compare this facility to state and national averages to see where staffing stands.
| Staff type | Hours / day | 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.
| 40m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 41m 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.
| 43m per day | ▼ 23% State avg: 56m 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.
| 1h 55m per day | ▼ 14% State avg: 2h 14m per day · National avg: 2h 21m per day |
|
Total Nursing (Weekend)
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.
| 2h 59m per day | ▼ 14% State avg: 3h 27m 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.
| 7m per day | ▲ 17% State avg: 6m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
RN (Weekend)
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.
| 28m per day | ▼ 3% State avg: 29m per day · National avg: 29m per day |

In New York, the Department of Health, Office of Aging and Long Term Care performs unannounced onsite inspections to monitor compliance with state and federal healthcare regulations.

The total number of state inspections at this facility, including routine and complaint-triggered visits. Facilities below the state average have generally maintained compliance, resulting in less regulatory oversight.
New York avg: 9
33% above New York avg
On-site visits triggered by formal complaints filed by residents, families, or staff — separate from routine inspections. Fewer complaint-related visits indicate fewer reported concerns about care quality or facility operations.
New York avg: 55
82% below New York avg
The share of inspections that resulted in at least one violation. A lower rate indicates more consistent compliance with state health and safety standards.
New York average: 1.3 violations per inspection

Penalties or interventions imposed by state regulators when facilities do not comply with quality, safety, or regulatory standards.
May 24, 2024: Stipulation & Order #ACF-24-018
A formal agreement with the state to correct serious or repeated issues.
The most recent inspection on March 12, 2024, found no deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to resident protections, resident services, personnel, and records and reports. Complaint investigations were mostly unsubstantiated, with no enforcement actions or fines listed in the available reports. Prior reports noted some issues with environmental standards and civil penalties, but no license suspensions or immediate jeopardy findings were documented. The inspection history suggests some improvement, as recent inspections have fewer or no deficiencies compared to earlier ones.
