Key Review Excerpts
“Initially, the independent living section at Kendal on Hudson was wonderful, however as our loved one stepped down to the care sections, their experience declined and our concerns grew.”
“The therapy was good but discharge was horrible. The nursing services were on paper only and we had to scramble on a late Friday afternoon to get a new agency to come in.”
“All anyone has to do that is looking to move to Kendal is ask how many CEOs have they had in the last eight years that will tell you the whole story.”
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.
