Key Review Excerpts
“The facilities are always so clean and the staff is so friendly and helpful!”
“It is beyond frustrating attempting to call and check on a patient. Literally, no one answers the phone. I do not understand this because when I go to visit the patient, multiple employees are sitting the the nurses station.”
“My issue is after discharge they gave me 5 days medication, and have called 8 times to have my prescriptions called in and I run out of medication and still haven't got my meds called in.”
