Key Review Excerpts
“While there he was treated with respect and dignity and received exceptional care from beginning to end. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone looking for a nursing home for a loved one.”
“Every single nurse, aide, therapists and employees have been wonderful! Kind and caring and encouraging.”
“In May of this year, he almost died there as he became dehydrated and they did not send him to the hospital. We had to call from TX and insist that he be sent for help.”
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.
