Key Review Excerpts
“I chose Masonic Village after checking out six similar facilities in the area. The staff bends over backwards for you the foo as good as it gets. The variety of activities leaves you with no reason stay in your apartment unless you want to.”
“Skilled nursing here is phenomenal. All of the staff is caring and friendly. Mom is well cared for and very fortunate to be here.”
“Extremely disappointed in this place. Extremely expensive. Management, especially Carl the Director is always passing the buck and there are only a few staff who genuinly care. Staff turnover is excesive. The food is horrible.”
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.
