Key Review Excerpts
“The nurses and cnas have taken the best care of my father as he recovered. They are all professional and fun and are patient with all patients and residents.”
“I noticed a worrisome amount of mold on the vents of the air conditioner. I asked the nurse for wipes and began wiping down the unit. I removed the vent and noticed the extent of the problem was worse than I had anticipated.”
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.
