Key Review Excerpts
“The skilled nursing was very attentive,response time from aids was speedy and their nice maintenance man helped me with info on a hospital bed. My mom improved with the provided physical therapy.”
“Avalon went out of their way to calm my fears, it started with a call from management welcoming from my hospital bed and telling me about their facility and their goals for me.”
“Administration was horrible. There was no communication to families at all. After a 3+ month stay for motor rehabilitation, finally the last three weeks they decided to start pushing her to do PT.”
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.

Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions.
