Key Review Excerpts
“The staff here does an amazing job for my grandma living on the 5th floor- the nurses the assistants the cooks! But mostly Id love to recognize the activities director - Alex.”
“So short staffed I sat on a bed pan for 70 Minutes, pressing the call button and finally yelling for help. One agency CNA said he was so overwhelmed that he just left at 0230 am.”
“Residents are phenomenal, while some staff are neglectful and management fail to address concerns regarding the attitudes of their care staff and the condition they leave residents in at the end of their shifts.”
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.
