Key Review Excerpts
“The care and therapy I received was super and got me back on my feet. A kind and caring staff along with the professional therapists were above my expectations.”
“The administrator, the Director of nursing and the Assistant Director of Nursing are always extremely professional and very prompt with their jobs and duties to keep not only their residents but staff safe at all times.”
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.
