Key Review Excerpts
“The 7th floor is awesome I felt I had complaint but I was very overwhelmed. I must say my day nurse Sandy is professional, knowledgeable & passionate”
“The level of care I received at this hospital was a 10/10. They are gentle, kind, patient, and not one person gave me a bad attitude. Truly very good bedside manners at this hospital.”
“The medical care is substandard and done with what feels like zero care about the patient's subsequent recovery. I had surgery to have my gallbladder removed, and I left the hospital with zero discharge paperwork about my procedure and how to care for myself in the days post-surgery.”
This facility meets both EveryPlace staffing reference benchmarks. Higher staffing is generally associated with stronger day-to-day care.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

The most frequent problems involve fire safety systems, resident care planning, and building maintenance issues like electrical systems.
