Key Review Excerpts
“My mother spent several weeks at John Clarke rehab. The staff was a great team. CNA and nurse services were excellent, Meals were very good. It was clear the staff care about all their patients.”
“My Mom, who turns 107 on November 20th has been at John Clarke Nursing Center for almost 2 years. Since day one I have been impressed by the professionalism demonstrated throughout all departments!! I am onsite at least every other day and NEVER have I witnessed or experienced a disturbing encounter with any administrator or employee.”
“John Clarke Senior Living has been wonderful for my mom who has been there for years. She was first in independent living and now, at 95, in nursing care. I can't say enough good things about the staff!”
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.

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.
