Key Review Excerpts
“All exhibited professionalism and the desire to help my dad get back on his feet-literally! We appreciate all The Moorings staff who helped during a challenging time for our family.”
“The staff worked tirelessly to ensure all her needs were met and spoiled her with chocolate ice cream. Every staff member was kind and gentle as she was in a lot of pain.”
“At the moorings they rarely ever got him out of bed. The room smelled like urine. The staffing always complained how understaffed they are.”
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.
