Key Review Excerpts
“The first thing I noticed was there was no smell, like most nursing homes. She only lived a month but that last month of her life, she lived like a Princess.”
“I came with a total hip replacement and broken sacrum. My perception of a one over the cuckoo's nest atmosphere was instantly dissolved as I was welcomed with open arms and total professional Care from the nursing staff.”
“I was very impressed by how this facility felt more like a home environment. The staff was nice and welcoming, I felt secure and at ease letting my aunt live there.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
