Key Review Excerpts
“The physical therapy staff were excellent... especially Joyce and Sandy who worked so well with my mom's fear of falling to get her up and moving again.”
“My mother’s stay at Vierra ended in a heartbreaking tragedy that could have been entirely avoided. Vierra administered ten times the correct dosage of her medication in a single dose, despite it being clearly documented in her chart.”
“The staff is consistently unresponsive, and his medication is regularly administered late or not given at all. But what’s even worse is the nursing supervisors. They are incredibly unhelpful, rude, unknowledgeable, and dismissive.”
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.
