Key Review Excerpts
“The low review score comes in at the the nursing care they provide. It’s quite awful. It would on average take someone 15-20 minutes to answer his call button.”
“Had to inquire for my uncle to have showers. My uncle was left on the commode for a really long time. Even after pulling the emergency cord. The excuse was shift change.”
“I was very impressed with the size of the rooms and all rooms having private bathrooms. They are very modern and spacious.”
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.
