Key Review Excerpts
“My father was admitted to the Robert A. Barnes skilled nursing facility at Wesley Ridge after leaving the hospital. From there we moved him into the English Garden for Memory Care. I don’t think my words can adequately describe the level of care and expertise we experienced from the moment we arrived.”
“Our family would like to formally express our deepest gratitude to Life Enriching Communities at Wesley Ridge, especially the Nursing & Rehabilitation Center at The Robert A. Barnes Center and the Wesley Ridge Hospice team, for the exceptional care provided to our father over the past two and a half years.”
“Nurses OK, some difficult to understand due to heavy foreign accent. They tried to be helpful but just couldn't understand a couple of them. Had some issues about my Mom's meds/not getting them. Would not recommend going there on a Friday. Not much happens on the weekend & nurses are temps rather than regular staff then.”
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.
