The data profile reflects a facility with an abuse icon, staffing levels below state averages, a high reliance on contract labor, and declining overall inspection scores.
The data profile for this facility indicates significant challenges in staffing stability and resident safety. Records show the facility has been assigned an abuse icon by federal regulators, stemming from inspection findings involving a failure to protect residents from physical or mental harm. Staffing levels have declined by approximately 10% over the last two years, currently providing 3.49 hours of nursing care per resident per day, which falls below the Vermont state average of 4.31 hours. In particular, registered nurse care is 0.56 hours per resident per day, compared to the state average of 0.81 hours.
Further analysis of labor data reveals a high reliance on temporary staff, with contract workers providing 34.5% of all nursing hours. This is paired with a total nursing staff turnover rate of 58.8%, meaning more than half of the nursing workforce left within a twelve-month period. Data also reflects a 18.5% drop in nursing hours on weekends compared to weekdays, which may impact the consistency of care. While quality measures regarding clinical outcomes for long-stay and short-stay residents are rated above average, the facility’s health inspection history reflects a higher-than-average volume of findings, including 13 deficiencies in the most recent cycle and a total of 42 uncorrected issues across health and fire safety categories.
The facility received an official abuse icon due to a recorded failure to protect residents from abuse and neglect.
Total nursing care is 3.49 hours per resident per day, which is 19% lower than the Vermont state average of 4.31 hours.
Contract or agency staff account for 34.5% of all nursing care, more than double common industry stability benchmarks.
This shows how the facility's federal ratings have changed over the past 24 months. Consistent high ratings suggest stable quality, while declining trends may warrant further investigation.

Staffing depth is the strongest predictor of care quality. Facilities routinely cut staff on evenings and weekends — the shifts when falls happen and call lights go unanswered.
