Key Review Excerpts
“The patient to CNA or nurse ratio is off balance. Call lights are not attended to. My loved one needs help with transitions and bed transfers. I've had the unfortunate task to have to dial the nurse's station myself for the resident (my family member) for help on their behalf.”
“The physical deterioration of this rehab facility from then until now is beyond shocking and had I know about its condition, I would have never ever allowed my husband there.”
“The entire staff made life very nice for my mom. She was liked by everyone and they loved her and her smile. Thanks to everyone for their support.”
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.
