Key Review Excerpts
“The staff is professional and caring towards their residents. I highly recommend this facility!”
“The staff is incredibly attentive, professional, and compassionate, always ensuring that the residents' needs are met with the utmost respect and care.”
“A very poorly run assisted living facility, the coordinators do not respect the residents that live there, it's very difficult for the seniors to make medical appointments and get the medical attention that they need.”
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.
