Key Review Excerpts
“My mother was here for 3 years until her passing this week. Both my mom and I were shown compassion and care. Yes it's an old building, but they keep the building up ( renovations are ongoing) and it was very clean every time I visited.”
“I’ve been here three weeks and have gotten so much stronger with therapy. Before it took 2 people to help me from bed, now I can do that and more all on my own! I’d recommend Claiborne & Hughes!”
“The nurse button doesn't work, or they chose to ignore it. Toilet overflowed Sunday, but no maintenance to fix it. My brother sat in pee for several hours because nurse button was ignored.”
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.

Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions.
