Key Review Excerpts
“My Mom is a new resident and we are so grateful that she was transferred from a facility that was not a match. She has got more attention in the month she has been here than she ever got in almost a year at the other place.”
“The nurse was very thorough and attentive when my relative had a little issue.”
“Throughout my 2+ hours there with Patty Jo, about 10 different staff were in and out catering to her needs, listening attentively, and treating her with professionalism, respect and dignity… patiently and lovingly.”
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.
