Key Review Excerpts
“Every person on your staff I have dealt with has been very attentive and dedicated. I know how hard it is to find competent help right now. Your staff is very positive and helps me feel like her physical and mental therapy”
“The nurses and aides were wonderful to me and I appreciate ❤️ it. The food was good as well I recommend Mystic Healthcare for rehab.”
“This facility isn’t for a person with dementia that doesn’t speak English, period. My mother was here for a very short period of time. I would say that most of the staff was very helpful but the facility kept falling short.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
