What this means for your family

Misericordia is highly regarded for its clean environment and effective rehabilitation therapy, making it a strong candidate for recovery. However, given reports of medication discharge errors and occasional delays in bedside assistance, we recommend that families stay actively involved in the discharge planning process and monitor medication hand-offs closely.
