Key Review Excerpts
“My Uncle was placed at The Laurels of Milford after a fall and broken hip. Physical therapy and occupational therapy are top notch. Nursing staff was very helpful and on point with his care.”
“The building is very old, very dirty, don’t even ask about the restrooms. The staff are uncaring, neglectful, and have extremely bad attitudes that they are being bothered and inconvenienced by anyone and everyone.”
“In five months, Laurels got me to taking actual steps for the first time in 5 years. LeMarie, Scott, Tyler, Kelly, and all of the rest of the therapy team were an absolute dream to work with.”
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.
