Key Review Excerpts
“My person has had to pee in her bed, more than once and the trash can once because no one answered the call button. They have missed meals for her and I, personally, have not seen one kind interaction with staff.”
“I thank the physical therapy department for my rapid progress. Those women know how to push you enough, without over doing it, to help you reach your goals.”
“When she calls for a nurse, they maybe show up an hour later. A nurse will say she'll be right back and does not show up for another hour or so.”
Reported nursing hours are daily averages per resident. They do not describe a specific shift or guarantee one-to-one care.
