Key Review Excerpts
“Some of the staff members are great and helpful but most had talking down attitude. You can’t ask them to do anything it will take forever. You have to call and remind them 100 of time before anything to happen.”
“The staff goes above and beyond to ensure the safety of not only their residents, but of everyone entering the door. The menu has a wide selection that comes out on a monthly schedule.”
“Any request for the patient never happened at first or second time… so we are end up to revisit the next day to ask the other care staff to take care of my dad on a particular thing.”
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.

Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions.
