Key Review Excerpts
“My dad was admitted here on July 21st after stopping chemo. My dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer at 81. Since my dad has been here the WHOLE staff from administration to food service has treated my dad like family.”
“When I arrived, I had to be moved from the wheelchair to my bed by a Hoyer lift. Six weeks later, due to phenomenal nursing care, PT and OT (Thanks, Curtis!!!) I was able to walk out of Applewood on my own.”
“The staff works hard but it is apparent they enjoy being there and the residents are family.”
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.
