SCHEURER HOSPITAL LONG TERM CARE UNIT

The nursing staff is the most important part of what determines the quality of care and comfort of a resident in a nursing home. Government regulations set expectations on time spent with each resident based on the services being provided. The breakdown below lists the nursing types (RN, LPN, LVN, CNA) and a comparison of the reported and expected hours per resident per day.

State averages for Michigan are also provided for comparison purposes. Note: Figures below are averaged over the past nine months.
