Key Review Excerpts
“The entire staff is amazing. Even the food is good. Physical Therapy, at the moment I'm taking baby steps soon to be pushed into 1st gear. The P.T. Therapists are knowledgeable.”
“My mother was here after having LVAD surgery. Upon touring the facility it was very nice. Once my mother was there it was a different story. The call bells were left ringing constantly, the administration leaves things to the last minuet and then puts it on the patent and families to handle when they drop the ball.”
“My mom (91) was cared for, looked after and rehabilitated to the point she was able to return home safely to care for herself with some home healthcare. The staff.. Blossom, Donna and the nurses, doctors, rehab specialists and maintenance personnel are excellent and professional in their fields.”
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.
