Key Review Excerpts
“I was blown away by the amount of communication from Pilgrim Manor. My dad stayed there for about 5 weeks. I frequently got calls with updates and coordinating his care.”
“The staff were very friendly and caring. The recreational activities were creative and engaging. The facility was clean and had a bright and cheerful atmosphere.”
“The staff were so overworked and miserable... And every day she was there there was less and less staff available to tend to her or assist with daily living activities.”
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.
