New graduates
CNA hours make up most of the direct-care mix (about 2.34 of the 3.56 total nurse HPRD), so you would lean heavily on aide partnership for day-to-day care.

More about Hidden Lake Health Care Center
The work is continuing care for residents who live here, with total nurse hours per resident day around 3.56 — close to the national band — and most of those hours coming from CNAs rather than RNs. On paper the licensed layer is thin (RN about 0.31 HPRD, similar on weekends), so your day would depend on tight aide partnership and careful transfer and supervision habits. The place is described as aiming for a personalized continuing-care retirement community feel with continuity of care as a stated focus. You should know the public record before you apply: CMS scores health inspection, staffing, and quality measures each at 1.0, with 27 health deficiencies on file, and a 2025 survey cited a failed two-person Hoyer-lift protocol that preceded a resident fracture. It is not listed as a Special Focus Facility, and admin departures are recorded as zero, but the inspection history is part of the job.
Described as combining a personalized continuing-care retirement community feel with dedicated nursing staff and a focus on continuity of care.
