Key Review Excerpts
“The first thing I noticed when my wife was admitted to Rocky Mountain Care-Cottage on Vine after her stroke was the cleanliness of the facility and patient rooms. Next as we became familiar with the staff and GREAT nurses, we experienced a genuine love and dedication to my wife.”
“The building is grim - tiny rooms with two people per room and beds placed so it felt like he was in a closet. Worn out furniture and, in my father's case a light with a broken cord he couldn't reach.”
“Under Madi M and Gerald N the facility has made many improvements to resident care and staffing. They understand the needs of everyone who comes in the building (residents, families, staff) and do their best to help wherever they're needed.”
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.
