Key Review Excerpts
“The staff at Jasmine Place are incredible. Their care and devotion to each resident is exceptional. Our family will always be grateful for the way they helped our mother find a sense of purpose, belonging, and comfort.”
“Beware if you have an elderly patient needing rehab! 93 year old completely blind and Confused patient left in room by herself with bed all the way up. Staff assumed it was her “normal.” She was found by staff underneath her bed after trying to go to the bathroom on her own and had fallen.”
“The staff at the Jasmine Unit is phenomenal. The head nurse Amy is the most caring person I’ve seen work with Alzheimer’s patients. She models for the nurses that work there, and they are a reflection of her leadership.”
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.
