Key Review Excerpts
“It is now 1:00 and my mother and her roommate are still not dressed or out of bed. The CNAs try to do their best but it's too much for them they need more help.”
“Unethical, do not do what is in the best interest of the patient. Medical director, social worker, administrator do not respond to discussions and concerns about patients by they their year-long physicians.”
“I've called there a lot of times today and nobody answers the phone! I'm trying to get ahold of a longtime friend who I'm very worried about but it just keeps ringing!! This is unprofessional!”
