Key Review Excerpts
“The staff physically fight with each other. The food is nit fit for a stray animal. It stinks so so so very bad.”
“There's building wide 6:30am alarm that goes off for everyone to "get out of bed"; medical staff would not bring a bedpan; the way the staff spoke to him was terrible - a complete nightmare experience”
“The onsite OT & PT Therapists were very supportive and gave me just enough push to get on my feet quickly, securely and confidently.”
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.
