Applewood Village, 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.

Applewood Village receives polarized feedback, with many families praising the active social calendar, beautiful grounds, and the responsiveness of leadership during crises.

Key Review Excerpts
“My grandmother has had a consistently positive experience while living at applewood village for the last 18+ months. At 96 years old, she is not always easy to please but always brags about where she lives.”
“My Mother died there. She was paying a ridiculous amount of money for it. When I visited her, she was dressed in sweat pants. She never even owned a pair and would have been appalled if she had been aware.”
“Most employees are nice and care about the patients. The others need a new profession. Short version of complaints. Example, waiting 2 1/4 hours to be taken to the bathroom after telling 3 people, the 4th tells you that no one told them.”
This facility meets both EveryPlace staffing reference benchmarks. Higher staffing is generally associated with stronger day-to-day care.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
