Key Review Excerpts
“The staff’s tender care and patience that allowed her to rally and make the extraordinary improvements she has made, which now make it possible for her to return home.”
“The communication between doctors, PT staff, nurses left a lot to be desired. Mom's care was in question due to inconsistent knowledge of current orders and mom's injury.”
“They did not properly care for my grandmother. They left her laying on the floor and would not take her to the restroom. They were asked about their charting and they do not have one.”
