Key Review Excerpts
“The PT was decent, but the Daily Routine care bordered on abuse. It could take 2 to 3 hours after you pushed your buzzer to get any assistance.”
“The therapy department helped her to regain the strength and ability to live independently again. Special shoutout to her PT, Ashleigh and her OT, Casey.”
“We once waited 8 hours and 15 minutes just to get someone to answer the call button.”
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.
