Key Review Excerpts
“The staff was super friendly and helpful. Medical team was efficient and extremely caring.”
“The place is nice looking and the caretakers were very kind to my mother but they are way understaffed and they are too busy to give people proper attention. We would ask for something and they'd say ok and leave and then never come back.”
“My Dad made a point to say one of your CNAs, Sky, was the best CNA he has ever encountered in any healthcare setting. He went above and beyond to help my Dad shower”
This facility meets both EveryPlace staffing reference benchmarks. Higher staffing is generally associated with stronger day-to-day care.
