Key Review Excerpts
“The nurses, aides and physical therapy team were all loving and caring to me. I couldn’t have gotten home as soon as I did without the entire staff.”
“Most CNAs are rude as hell to both other staff and residents. If you work in one of the kitchens you’ll be serving moldy food to residents.”
“Well the rehab he received was just short of ridiculous. One day they had him stand up for a whole hour of course he got weak.”
RN hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmark. RNs handle complex medical needs and medication, so ask about coverage during your visit.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
