These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
No Medicare penalties on record
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 77% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 19 findings, above the MA average of 8.9. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Day Brook Village Senior Living receives highly polarized feedback, with experiences ranging from compassionate, high-quality care to severe allegations of neglect and unprofessionalism. While some families praise the therapy department and the welcoming atmosphere for new residents, others report critical failures in medical management, communication, and basic hygiene. Potential families should be aware of the stark contrast between positive assisted living experiences and reports of poor standards in the rehab and nursing wings.

Key Review Excerpts
“My mother was a resident of Daybrook for a couple of months following a stroke. My family and I thought she was very well cared for during her time there.”
“My Mom's episode, as she calls it, started in May. Today she is going home! Staff is loving and has great attention to detail. Thank you, therapy department and social workers!”
“Morning medication was given at 1pm, wound nurse didn’t know how to work a wound vac, not sure why they excepted him knowing he had one.”
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.

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.
