Key Review Excerpts
“I was on a FaceTime call with my mother when another older lady fell and it took them 20 minutes to even help her after my mom was yelling for them to help.”
“The facility had, and it was absolutely amazing. They went all out and I am looking forward to next year to see what they do.”
“Upon entering, I noticed staff members huddled together and not attentive to the residents. The resident I visited was in a dark room, and his care needs were not being met, including an unclean condition and an unpleasant odor.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
