Key Review Excerpts
“My relative frequently lays / sits around in soiled depends & flimsy growns. They claims the clothing are always in the laundry room or somewhere.”
“I had to spend three agonizing weeks there to 'help my mental health more'. They don't have group therapy meetings, I saw a nurse practitioner to the psychiatrist once, they gave me the wrong meds or didn't give me meds at all, food was barely edible.”
“Most of staff are at nurses station on their phone and have no regard to helping get answers for the care for their loved ones.”
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.

Original nursing home datasets
EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
These are the 6 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
