Key Review Excerpts
“My grandmother was transported there for rehab on Friday at 4pm. She did not get into a room until almost 9pm!!! They told her they would give her dinner and HOURS later they told her the kitchen was closed.”
“The only hard thing for me (as I need to use a walker) is the location of her room. It is a very long walk. Imagine how it would be if I had to walk from the original office.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
