This home is ranked 21st out of 70 homes in Connecticut.| 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.
|
53m per day | ▲ 26% State avg: 42m per day · National avg: 41m 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 35m per day | ▲ 13% State avg: 2h 17m 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.
|
3h 50m per day | ▲ 12% State avg: 3h 25m 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.
|
5m per day | ■ Avg State avg: 5m 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.
|
39m per day | ▲ 39% State avg: 28m per day · National avg: 29m per day |

Deficiencies indicate regulatory issues. A higher number implies the facility had several areas requiring improvement.
Connecticut average: 19 deficiencies
The most recent inspection on October 29, 2024, found that all previously identified violations had been corrected. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies related mainly to resident care issues such as failure to report and assess falls, inadequate wound care, and concerns about resident dignity and abuse. Several complaint investigations were substantiated, including findings of abuse and failure to report incidents timely. Enforcement actions such as plans of correction were required, but fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s record shows improvement over time, with recent audits confirming correction of prior violations.
