Summary

The records reflect a facility with a history of high health inspection scores but nursing staffing hours that fall significantly below state averages.

Detailed Analysis

The data indicates a facility with a high health inspection profile but low reported staffing levels. While the facility maintains a high health inspection rating of five stars, recent records show a 32% decline in total nursing hours per resident per day over the last two years. The current level of 2.29 hours of nursing care per resident per day is significantly lower than the state average of 3.78 hours. Specifically, registered nurse care is recorded at 0.15 hours per resident per day, compared to the North Carolina average of 0.59 hours.

Despite the lower staffing volume, the facility demonstrates stability in its workforce composition. Financial and staffing records show that zero percent of nursing care is provided by contract or agency staff, which is often a signal of care continuity. Additionally, the facility maintains a consistent staffing level on weekends, with 2.38 hours of nursing care per resident per day, representing a slight increase over weekday averages. However, the most recent safety inspection identified 11 fire safety findings, including concerns regarding corridor obstructions and fire-rated enclosures, which exceeded the state average of 3.9 fire safety findings per cycle.
