Key Review Excerpts
“In her four months at Shawnee Gardens, she regained her appetite, gained weight, reestablished her ability to walk and even made friends (this was far beyond our expectations and even our hopes.)”
“I have many photos of feces leaking out of her brief and dried on. I even spoke with the staff doctor and requested a barrier cream because her bottom was beat red on números occasions.”
“Not a single person helped any of memory care patients. They didn't even care I was there to check out their services. Three staffs were playing phone and chatting during the entire lunch.”
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. See our Research Policy for our editorial standards, correction process, and image-removal policy.
