Key Review Excerpts
“The facility is old and had a roof leak in a major hallway with sopping bed pads on the floor to absorb the leak. The ceiling tiles were already molding due to how long the leak occured.”
“My Father was a patient here for respite care last week. My Mother and I pulled him out after 36 hours. Live cockroaches! One jumped out of his trash can the size of a small car.”
“The therapy department does a great job at getting people rehabilitated. The Administrator Chandler and Director of Nursing Rebecca does the absolute best job at running the facility.”
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.
