Key Review Excerpts
“They said they almost never see anyone in such good physical condition coming from a nursing home. I should also add that Nazarethville takes good care of my mom not only physically, but mentally and spiritually as well.”
“Nurses and CNAs are very gentle, polite, patient, friendly and are focused with the care our mother needs.”
“The staff is fabulous! Nerie is very helpful when making an appointment to see my cousin Geri. Doug and Martin are very considerate and helpful physically.”
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.
