Key Review Excerpts
“The facility is also very clean, and they always have medical staff there 24/7 which is very reassuring when admitting a child with severe disabilities and risk of aspiration and seizures.”
“Everyone appeared to be so happy, greetful and helpful in assisting me, a patient even came up to me and welcomed me. This was definitely not the typical nursing home I'm used to seeing, it was definitely more like a family home.”
“The staff is well-trained , attentive and committed to maintaining a safe environment. The team works together to meet each child’s individual needs. The building is clean and organized.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
