Key Review Excerpts
“The healthcare team at Manzanita is attentive, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated to the well-being of the residents. The facility is clean and well-maintained, and they offer a variety of programs and activities that enhance the quality of life for those they serve.”
“I am so lucky to have staff that was concerned about my well being. I send thanks to Mercedes, Marcelo and Anila. I especially have to send many thanks and gratitude to Roxanne the Ocupationa Therapist who spent the necessary time needed to get me where I could survive in a different environment.”
“The food tastes great, Cari is the best CNA I had. She made me feel comfortable and never got annoyed with answering my call lights. Her infectious personality made my stay quite pleasant.”
This facility meets both EveryPlace staffing reference benchmarks. Higher staffing is generally associated with stronger day-to-day care.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
