Key Review Excerpts
“The nursing staff provided compassionate, attentive care around the clock. They were professional, responsive to his needs and any concerns we raised, and always treated him with dignity and kindness.”
“The DON (head nurse) has completely changed the the whole attitude of this nursing home. Anyone who comes here will get loving, respectful care, I can't express how much she has changed this place into one of the premier facilities of Ohio.”
“It takes 1 hour for someone to come to the room after pushing the call light. As a family member walking in this place is like a ghost town. No one working is around to r checking on patients.”
RN hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmark. RNs handle complex medical needs and medication, so ask about coverage during your visit.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
