Key Review Excerpts
“Each and every therapist went above and beyond for their patients. My mother in law received the best rehab she could have possibly received anywhere.”
“Although his medication was given within the legal one-hour window before or after the scheduled time, that delay was far too long for someone in pain and near the end of life. He waited up to 15 to 45 minutes for relief, and we were told to “be patient.””
“They don't find bedsores, don't treat patients with respect, nurses are lazy”
