Key Review Excerpts
“My grandmother was supposed to have an IV drip of her antibiotics 3 times a day to fight her life threatening staff infection. It was 3:30 pm and she hadn’t had one dose of her medicine yet! The staff when confronted said they couldn’t find the medication!”
“The staff was great and the physical therapy folks were very helpful. The only issue u had was the meals. Needs to vary them a bit more.”
“Smelled the inside of the building before I walked in. No one is willing to help ever. I can't even say the hold times are ridiculous, because you get placed on a hold and they hang up.”
RN hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmark. RNs handle complex medical needs and medication, so ask about coverage during your visit.
