Key Review Excerpts
“The room lit up and the friendly therapists work diligently to ensure each patient was special and unique. I've even went to other rehab facilities but none matched the therapists at the 'Springs'.”
“The 3* rating is because they are busy enough that diaper changes would have to wait over 30 minutes, and the PT would say they were coming and would never arrive.”
“My loved one was discharged from this facility in such a bad condition, he was immediately brought to and admitted to the hospital before he even made it home. He had a blood sugar level of 54, and was practically comatose.”
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.
