Key Review Excerpts
“The staff that we have met from Carol, Administrator to Melissa and Jake have been very supportive and made sure they took the time to orient us to the facility and daily routine. This put our family at ease.”
“I have asked for food for my mother, they don't come. I ask for help to bring my mother to the bathroom, they don't come. My mother has fallen several times because she has to go to the bathroom.”
“Visited my sister on 12/26/21, completely understaffed and rooms not clean. We had to feed my sister both lunch and dinner and take her to the restroom.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
