St. Paul's Senior Community runs about 3.68 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 5% under the national average, and weekends drop another 10% below its own weekday numbers.

The inspection record is heavier still, 39 deficiencies, 10 of them at harm or jeopardy level, one tied to abuse, and five fines totaling $227,658. Ownership is for-profit through a limited liability company. The last inspection was in January 2025, so the record is current, not stale.
