These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
No Medicare penalties on record
Als Mount Vernon INC has a strong overall Medicare rating. RN hours meet the EveryPlace reference benchmark, which is one useful staffing signal to discuss during a visit. Public reviewers frequently mention: compassionate and attentive staff and intimate, community-focused atmosphere. Review the component ratings and current source records before deciding.
Families can expect a small, intimate environment where staff members are frequently praised for their caring, respectful, and person-centered approach. While the facility excels at making residents feel like family, there is a significant legal/financial dispute mentioned by a vendor regarding slow payments.

Key Review Excerpts
“Great Staff and Atmosphere. Here you know your mother or father are getting much more individual attention than those bigger buildings.”
“Friendly staff, always feel welcome as a guest, take great care of my mother, clean”
Total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmark, though RN coverage meets its reference level. Ask how aides are staffed for daily tasks such as bathing and mobility.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
