No Medicare penalties on record
This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. Registered Nurse hours are 30% of the EveryPlace reference benchmark; ask how RN coverage is allocated across shifts. The latest standard survey recorded 6 findings, above the AR average of 4.3. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Premier at the Springs receives polarized feedback, with many visitors praising the facility's cleanliness and the friendliness of the staff during daytime hours. However, multiple families have reported serious concerns regarding neglect, inadequate rehabilitation therapy, poor communication, and staffing shortages, particularly during weekends and nights. Potential families should be aware of these significant inconsistencies in care quality.

Key Review Excerpts
“The staff were exceedingly caring, friendly, and helpful at all times. They took excellent care of my friend and he was comfortable in his last days. I was impressed with how clean the place was.”
“My husband was recently in this facility. The very first day, there was no one there to greet us. Nobody came by to ask if he needed water. On the second day, I sat in his room during visiting hours, and they only came by to check on him twice.”
“My mom lives here and today we made her feel so special. My Auntie and Cousin sang songs and the other residents enjoyed all of the singing.”
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.
