Key Review Excerpts
“My very first visit i found mom on the floor with her arm trapped under her, on the fall mattress. It took over 45 minutes to get help to get her up.”
“I have seen excellent teamwork with both floor staff and managers. The staff is friendly when I pass them in the hallways. I see people going out of their way just to do sweet things for the reidents.”
“If I had not done a pop up visit he would have sat in poo all day. It was already starting to dry on his bottom, not to mention he was in the same clothes I sent him there and this was the next day I visited.”
