Key Review Excerpts
“Great overall communication between myself and CNAs, nurses, therapists and staff. Hoping she doesn't need to go back but if she needs rehab again, Apple is our first choice.”
“I found AND corrected being given the wrong meds. #2 I had to call the police who got a 93yr old to safety sooner than the staff”
“91 yr old Mom with some memory and mobility issues has been there a week and our family is soooo pleased so far, they're all so caring and down to earth helpful.”
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.
