Key Review Excerpts
“The moment I walked in the OVERWHELMING smell of urine was ATROCIOUS and I literally had to go back out to my car and grab an old mask and spray perfume in it just to be able to go inside to spend time with my grandfather.”
“My mother was recently here at Monterey Park Rehab. What an amazing place. The nurses were so kind. Would like to mention Brian and Jeremy. My mother is pretty stubborn and they were able to work with her and get her to do her therapy.”
“My mom went in because she could not walk after a month of rehabilitation the doctor says she is ready to go home. Still using a hoyler lift for transferring from wheelchair to bed. My mom turns the call light on and it takes for ever for someone to come and check on her.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
