Key Review Excerpts
“Other than being clean, this place is a total disaster. No respect for patients or their medical needs even after meeting with staff and administration every day.”
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.
