Key Review Excerpts
“In her final hours the staff at Rosewood couldn’t have been more comforting to help us through this process. Thank you again for all you did for mom and us during this difficult time.”
“Nursing and Nursing Aides were responsive and considerate in regard to my sister's unique problems. Physical therapy and Occupational therapy were excellent and my sister showed marked improvement with walking.”
“The center is a little bit outdated, but that’s the only reason I would give it four Stars instead of five. The staff is super friendly! I have visited The facility several times in the last two weeks and every time I walk in and walk down the halls, I’m greeted by all of the staff.”
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.

EveryPlace is a research directory. Facility information is compiled from public sources — Medicare.gov, state licensing portals, Google Places, and publicly available street-level imagery. Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement. Families should verify all details directly with the facility and the original sources linked above before making any care decisions.
