Key Review Excerpts
“The staff-at all levels- were extremely compassionate and skilled in caring for my sister over a very long time.”
“My wife is rehabbing in Eastside following a long stay in the hospital which left her so debilitated that I would have been unable to care for her at home. She is making faster progress than I anticipated thanks to the good care and the work with the PTs and OTs.”
“The nurses, the CNAs, and all Administration know him by name and stop and talk to him whenever they pass by. They pay attention to how much he's eating or not eating, and he is generally clean and well taken care of.”
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.
