Key Review Excerpts
“The staff had very little turnover in 6 years. We had the same nurses, aids ect the entire time. Your loved ones will be in good hands at Canata.”
“My mother had surgery and had to rehab at this facility, she wasn’t showered, gave a bath or anything! My mother is verbal and not disabled! She told the nurses she was wet several times and their response was “you’re not wet”!”
“The physical therapy department is run with compassion but with strong will to see their patients improve. The staff, as a whole, are professional, yet compassionate, kind, and even cheerful.”
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.
