Key Review Excerpts
“The facility is an old nursing home which is being nicely freshened up. However it still has limitations in terms of space and amenities that facilities built specifically for people with dementia should have. I must say I am amazed at how much a great staff can make up for those limitations.”
“The staff were caring and very attentive to his needs . Physical, occupational and speech therapy worked with my father to prepare him to go home safely. Social services were fantastic and organized an array of rehab services for home care to continue the progress he made at Westgate.”
“Both of my grandparents are/were residents here. My grandfathers wedding ring was stolen at the facility shortly before he died. My grandmother’s priceless jewelry has also been stolen at this facility.”
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.
