Key Review Excerpts
“The nurses are inconsistent with changing patients diapers. The nurses are rude and disrespectful. My best friends mother is currently there, her cell phone was stolen as well.”
“The staff is good they listen to my mom's need and to my concern.”
“The physical therapists are extremely knowledgeable, and I am so grateful for the care and dedication they showed throughout my recovery. They truly helped teach me how to walk again.”
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.
