Key Review Excerpts
“The nursing staff is thorough and the case manager, Taryn, there is so thorough and communicated well with my family about the process with skilled care!”
“The entire staff is outstanding. They have made this difficult decision a smooth process and it is comforting to know and see that your loved one is being cared for properly, with dignity and kindness.”
“The nurses there are great and the rehab workers are fantastic, the place is generally very clean for a smaller nursing home. The CNA's, however, especially the night shift workers, are absolutely horrible.”
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.
