Key Review Excerpts
“My mom has been a patient on the memory care unit floor (3) for a few years, and we have been pleased with the care she has received. We have found the staff very attentive to her needs, and she always looks taken care of and healthy when we visit.”
“My aunt is a patient in their so called "memory care" but the unit smells like feces, the unit is incredibly understaffed, and the management refuses to provide wipes, chux pads, and a FULL MEAL, or adequate ventilation-85 degrees on the unit one day.”
“As soon as patient is admitted, facility sets up discharge plan Patient supposed yo get one hour OT and one hour PT. They combine them so you just get one hour total a day”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.
