Key Review Excerpts
“My mother-in-law has been there for about six months. I am so thankful for her to be here. All the people who work with her have been so kind and so helpful especially since she has dementia.. I can’t imagine her anywhere else.”
“My family member has lived here 5 years. He is known and cared for as an individual by the staff. I live in another state and am kept well up-to-date on his status and needs.”
“The staff here are always positive and in great spirits! I think that they add value to the lives of their residents. There is normally music playing (sometimes live music) when I come into the building.”
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.
