- What is the full monthly cost, including care fees, deposits, and services charged separately?
- Do you have availability, and which payment options do you accept?

Staffing
Who is there to help?
Reported nursing hours are daily averages per resident. They do not describe a specific shift or guarantee one-to-one care.
Ask during your visit: Who will help my family member during the day and overnight? How do you plan staffing when residents need more support?
| Measure | Reported | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Registered nurses | 0.28 hours | Per resident, per day |
| All nursing staff | 4.06 hours | Nurses and aides combined |
| Staff turnover | 49 % | Reported by Medicare |
| RN turnover | 46 % | Registered nurses |
About staffing comparisons
EveryPlace uses reference points of 0.75 registered-nurse hours and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident per day. These are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements or a determination that a facility meets a resident's needs.
