Key Review Excerpts
“The management is a joke! No one communicates with each other. She had fallen more times in this facility than she did at home by herself. Every day there was some issue. They weren’t giving her the right medication, she wasn’t getting her showers and they lost most of her laundry”
“The entire management team needs to go. They don’t care about patients that need a diabetic/heart healthy/low sodium diets. Memory care is the worst! There is such high turnover because of the management team that oversees memory care.”
“The facility is beautifully decorated and very clean. She was well taken care of, the food was prepared by a chef, and I especially loved the staff members. I felt they loved their jobs and the people they cared for.”
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.
