The building stays clean and has staff that work hard to create comfort for each resident, so rooms and bathrooms are kept in order, with nurse call lights getting quick responses and the nursing staff, nurse techs, and therapy teams helping residents focus on recovery and independence, aiming to send many people back to their own homes when possible. The nursing hours per resident per day average 4.33, a bit more than the state average, though the nurse turnover rate sits at 51.7%, higher than normal, which means new nurses do come in often.
