Key Review Excerpts
“My grandma had back surgery and needed to go to rehab. Her first stay was yesterday and was horrible. She got there at 430pm and needed her pain medicine and kept asking for it and didn’t get it until 130am the next day.”
“My father was a resident at the facility for end of life care. He stayed on unit 3 and had the best nurses and cenas providing care for him in his final days. They ensure that he was comfortable and offered him so many things to ensure his quality of life was amazing.”
“My sister was treated very poorly and severely neglected under their care. She dwindled down to 90lbs and was left with sores ultimately requiring surgery due to extended time sitting in her own feces.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
