Key Review Excerpts
“There are no words to express the kindness and dignity that the entire staff here showed my dad for the last three months of his life! Every nurse, every aide, admin, and office staff worked with my family to ensure he was safe and treated with respect.”
“The doctor listened to me and made a plan with me to help get my dad back on track. He hasn’t even been there a full week but the staff is getting to know him already”
“My dad complains that the food is in small portions and that when he eats in his room it is cold and no one comes back to bring him condiments. Or when he asks for seconds there is nothing extra or a sandwich in the fridge for him to munch on.”
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.
