| Staff type | Hours / Day / Resident | 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.
| 58m per day | ▲ 32% State avg: 44m 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 | ▲ 26% State avg: 34m 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.
| 3h 1m per day | ▲ 19% State avg: 2h 32m per day · National avg: 2h 20m per day |
|
Weekend Total Nursing
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.
| 4h 21m per day | ▲ 30% State avg: 3h 21m 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.
| 9m per day | ▲ 350% State avg: 2m per day · National avg: 4m per day |
|
Weekend RN
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.
| 42m per day | ▲ 40% State avg: 30m per day · National avg: 28m per day |

The most recent inspection on January 6, 2026, found the facility in substantial compliance based on acceptance of a plan of correction following the December 18, 2025 survey, which included deficiencies. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies primarily related to food handling and infection prevention, as well as issues with medication administration, care planning, and communication with physicians. Complaint investigations included some substantiated cases involving medication management and failure to notify physicians, but most complaints were found unsubstantiated or resulted in substantial compliance. Enforcement actions such as fines or license suspensions were not listed in the available reports. The facility’s record shows some improvement after more serious findings in 2024 and 2023, with recent inspections indicating progress toward compliance.
