Key Review Excerpts
“The physical therapy and occupational therapy staff are amazing! I have been to other rehab facilities and did not see the vast improvement I have experienced with Yuma Nursing Center. I am walking on my own with no cane or walker!!!”
“The nursing team communicates clearly and makes families feel involved and informed. The CNAs are kind and patient, always treating residents with dignity and respect.”
“Unfortunately recent staff changes and the consequences of those changes which I was able to observe made me remove my mother as quickly as I could. The head of nursing offered no help in getting my mother removed safely.”
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.
