Key Review Excerpts
“Nursing, OT & PT staff are beyond 5 star. They are kind, compassionate, gentle, and overall a pleasure. I can not say enough about how their kindness expedited my recovery.”
“The nurses most certainly are not. My mother waited countless times over 1.5hrs for her pain medication. More than half the rooms are empty. I had to call the nurses station and ask to speak with her nurse directly to see what the issue was.”
“My father was in the rehab section at Wingate for almost 2 months and we are lucky that he got out alive! He was discharged last week with a HORRIBLE rash in has groin area that was covered in caked-on yeast. The VNA said that it must have been there for at least a week.”
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.
