Key Review Excerpts
“I could never have gotten the quality or intensity of therapy on my own outside of this facility.”
“We did have an issue to address with a branch of her care and it was met openly and honestly and improved that shift.”
“I think there needs to be deeper questioning of patients that “don’t like to inconvenience anyone”, because the staff does ask him if he’s ok, but he doesn’t mention fixable problems at first.”
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.
