These current public-data fields deserve follow-up with the facility and the official Medicare record. They are not a clinical risk score or a substitute for an in-person assessment.
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 96% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 8 findings, above the IA average of 6.2. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Hallmar Village receives high praise from independent living residents for its modern amenities, beautiful campus, and friendly community atmosphere. However, families of those requiring higher levels of care, such as rehab or hospice, report significant concerns regarding communication, food quality, and responsiveness to patient needs. Prospective families should weigh the positive lifestyle experience of independent living against the reported inconsistencies in clinical care and administrative follow-through.

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff here are world class nurses that make health care personal . I will always be grateful for how they treated my father in his final days.”
“Your employees are good most of them. Your management sucks. Your food was the worst intutionalized food I have ever had. The insurance company sent me home on the weekend. I told everyone I was leaving on Sunday. Nothing was communicated to you weekend shifts.”
“While the building itself is nice they were long wait times for him when he pushed his call button at dinner by the time he got his food he was falling asleep but they were determined he was gonna eat his dinner.”
RN hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmark. RNs handle complex medical needs and medication, so ask about coverage during your visit.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

Original nursing home datasets
EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. 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. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
These are the 6 closest facilities in our data within 10 miles. Proximity does not mean they provide the same care type or have stronger quality signals, so compare each profile and verify services directly.
