Key Review Excerpts
“Broke my leg and wound up at Brendan House. Everyone there was really nice and knew their stuff. I'm grateful to have been in recovery there.”
“She went almost 14 days without so much as a sponge bath, was repeatedly left to go hungry because caretakers would "forget" to bring her tray and she was forced to sleep in dirty bedding that my mother and I had to change ourselves.”
“I was at the Brennan House about 43 days and the staff there were all great. They treated me with respect, compassion and that quirky sense of humor that made my day a lot easier to cope with things.”
This facility meets both EveryPlace staffing reference benchmarks. Higher staffing is generally associated with stronger day-to-day care.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
