Key Review Excerpts
“The facility was clean and welcoming. The staff was friendly and helpful; I have full confidence that my friend is getting the best care possible.”
“My husband is at Pike Creek for rehabilitation. The staff has been awesome. Very pleasant and top notch at their jobs. A few times his meals were off, but the nurse brought him what he wanted when asked.”
“I constantly overheard the staff talk about how they have 20+ patients to care for and this was during second shift. If you’re not aware of regulations, that ratio is not allowed and the facility should not be operating that understaffed.”
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.
