Key Review Excerpts
“The CNAs and nurses are hardworking, caring and attentive! I can't say enough about the Recreation Department, too. The staff works tirelessly to provide engaging activities and entertainment throughout the day.”
“The physical therapists were excellent. When he got there he couldn’t even stand, and now he’s home, able to walk on his own.”
“My major problem was that she was in a room that had no air conditioning during a heat wave for 8 days and I got the run around by the administration about why it was not being fixed.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
