Key Review Excerpts
“My Father had a stroke and spent approx 4 months in Skilled Nursing before he was discharged home. Home was not good environment so I brought him back to the Assisted Living side. Everyone, and I means EVERYONE is beyond amazing.”
“The grounds are beautiful, the rooms are spacious and it’s very clean. Most importantly, the care provided is top notch!”
“The floors in her room were absolutely disgusting, I had to wipe blood splatter off the poll next to her bed that she could use to pull herself up on, broken blinds, the foot extensions from someone's wheel chair were sitting in the sink in her room.”
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.
