Key Review Excerpts
“My loved one was in this facility for rehabilitation. She is now on a ventilator fighting for her life due to their gross negligence.”
“My father really benefitted from their sub-acute rehab program and was able to return home in the best shape we have seen him in recent memory.”
“The aids Maria especially the staff the director of Nursing the nurses like Kelly and Lloyd and many others are like family. My mom is treated beautifully with respect and love never mistreated.”
Total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmark, though RN coverage meets its reference level. Ask how aides are staffed for daily tasks such as bathing and mobility.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
