Dry Harbor Nursing Home has a strong overall Medicare rating. RN hours meet the EveryPlace reference benchmark, which is one useful staffing signal to discuss during a visit.

Review the component ratings and current source records before deciding.
Dry Harbor Nursing Home receives highly polarized feedback, with many families praising specific nursing supervisors and rehab staff for their dedication and compassion, while others report severe concerns regarding neglect, poor communication, and hygiene.

Key Review Excerpts
“My father has asked me to say a huge thank you to everyone who took such great care of him during his stay. Special thanks to Tamara, the nursing supervisor on the 10th floor. Tamara, you were so kind to my father.”
“My grandmother has been here for several weeks due to a hip fracture. The rehab center employees and nurses are wonderful. A special thank you to Amarita for her guidance on the 4th floor and her help ensuring that everything runs especially smooth.”
“I’ve been trying to call my mother for three days. When I finally get somebody on the phone and express my concern for my mothers care, they are literally laughing at me.”
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.
