4 of 5 metrics below state avg

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.	26m per day	▼ 35% State avg: 40m 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.	27m per day	▼ 41% State avg: 46m 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.	2h 17m per day	■ Avg State avg: 2h 16m 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.	2h 59m per day	▼ 8% State avg: 3h 14m per day · National avg: 3h 26m 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.	22m per day	▼ 19% State avg: 27m per day · National avg: 28m per day

Inspection Reports Summary An editor-reviewed summary of the themes and findings across this facility's recent inspection reports.

The most recent inspection on June 16, 2025, identified deficiencies related to failure to notify a physician of a resident injury and failure to ensure resident safety during transfer. Earlier inspections showed a pattern of deficiencies involving emergency preparedness, life safety code compliance, resident care including supervision and assistance, medication management, and infection control. Several complaint investigations were substantiated, including cases involving resident falls, delayed medical assessments, and issues with dignity and respect, but fines or enforcement actions were not listed in the available reports. Most complaints without deficiencies were found unsubstantiated, and the facility has taken corrective actions such as staff training and policy updates. The inspection history shows ongoing challenges with resident safety and care processes, with some improvements noted in life safety compliance after re-inspections.
