Key Review Excerpts
“The staff not only took care of her daily needs, they comforted her as she neared the end of her life. Held her hand on the bad days. Smiled and treated her with dignity and respect on the good days.”
“I've seen them interact with everyone so caring & lovingly (we're in memory care/Dementia) Karen Soles & LeeAnn Graefnitz were very helpful in getting my loved one admitted quickly.”
“The entire care team--doctors, nurses, therapists and assistants--all worked wonders, and he is leaving in much better health and spirits than when he arrived.”
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.
