Key Review Excerpts
“The team that was assigned to me treated me as though I was family instead of just a patient and I'm leaving here today with a lot of new friends then I had when I got here.”
“13 patients, 1CNA, 2 LPNs with their personal cell phones equals lack of patient care, inattentiveness, possible negligence, no patience, mistreatment, etc.”
“My mother declined 2 days after her admissions at LEC, causing her to be put on a ventilator. Judging their nonchalant attitude with family explains why.”
