Key Review Excerpts
“My friend is a resident there currently. She has not been given a shower in EIGHT DAYS. She is afraid to complain because she loves the nursing staff, but they are COMPLETELY UNDERSTAFFED and OVERWORKED.”
“My Dad almost reached 101 years old after 3 years at Hale Anuenue, during Covid and never got it. Because of the diligent staff and management, rules and regulations. Now my Mom is almost 101, after a year at Hale Anuenue.”
“My grandmother got her skilled nursing services here at Hale Anuenue for almost 3 months. She now considers them family. That says it all. Great service, friendly and caring. Not perfect, but no one or anything is perfect.”
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.
