Key Review Excerpts
“The nurses, CNAs, Dietary, kitchen staff and Administration personnel are working hard for the well being of my wife and her recovery.”
“The first 24 to 48 hours of my wife’s stay were miserable. I guess she fell victim to the normal flow of business. When she arrived she was in a lot of post surgical pain. She did not get any pain meds for 36 hours.”
“I honestly do not understand the positive reviews! It reeks in the building no matter what time of day you visit. My mom was there for a week and I took her out and back to the hospital. The room was not cleaned not one time!”
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.
