Key Review Excerpts
“The Florence Presbyterian Community has been “home” for my dad for 4 years. He was recently hospitalized and was in need of rehab to regain his strength. What a blessing it was to be able to bring him back to the Florence Presbyterian Community for rehab.”
“Couple complaints; Never, not once during my wife’s rehab from November 5, ‘24 to December 23, ‘24 did I, her only caregiver, see her assigned physician. Should have see him at least once shortly after admission.”
“My dad was there less than 2 weeks before needing to be transferred to the ER by ambulance with a uti and ammonia level of 216 but 'supposedly' getting the correct doses of lactulose 3 times a day.”
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.
