Key Review Excerpts
“I have watched nurses and assistants alike give hugs and say 'I love you' to the residents and a lot of gentle face touches just so the residents can recognize they are there.”
“Physical therapy is the worst you can imagine. My father stayed here for 33 days after hip surgery and still couldn’t walk. With proper PT at home, I had him walking in 9 days with a walker.”
“I see several CNA's going above and beyond but I'd like to give 'kudos' to Kellie Pritchett. She always goes above and beyond to be helpful with residents and family members.”
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.
