Key Review Excerpts
“I highly recommend this facility because all of the care providers were professional and caring. I firmly believe my father is stronger now post hip surgery with the excellent physical and occupational therapist.”
“The staff are very friendly and helpful! Be warned that parking is difficult with a capital D. Double parking is the norm and staff will help you by alerting you when your car needs to be moved.”
This facility meets both EveryPlace staffing reference benchmarks. Higher staffing is generally associated with stronger day-to-day care.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
