Key Review Excerpts
“My dad went into Hawthorne with a stage one bedsore, left with a stage four. After he went back to the hospital to have the stage four bedsore treated, Hawthorne would not take him back.”
“Mom returned again when she was passing and I can not experience the amount of love that was shown to her during her last moments. The staff treats the residents like their own family.”
“Patients are left unattended for long periods of time. Patients share a very run down room and have to share a TV. The facility is very out dated and run down.”
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.
