- 2Given that some families have mentioned challenges with call light response times, what specific protocols or technology do you use to ensure residents receive timely assistance?

Key Review Excerpts
“The entire medical service leaves much to be desired, except for one CNA, a wonderful woman, Joanna, who is very caring and takes care of everyone who needs help. The other staff did not respond at all to requests for help, patients in pain asking for help and medications waiting for hours for someone to show up.”
“After coming from a terrible nursing home, discovering Bella Terra of Schaumburg has been an absolute relief and blessing. The difference is truly night and day. The staff here genuinely care about their patients—they treat residents with kindness.”
“Care is good but communication is very poor. Tracking down administration is nearly impossible. As always, You HAVE to be your family members advocate.”
