Key Review Excerpts
“The majority of CNAs and some LPNs & RNs (not all) are lazy, and totally empathetic to the patients needs and wellbeing. They are never around when you need them to tend to your love ones.”
“The PT is good here though so if you only need PT for a few days then this might be fine for your stay but not for someone who needs more care and services.”
“She’s an immigrant and barely speaks English, but the CNAs and nurses learned “hello” and “how are you” in her language on day one. Now they greet her by name, sit with her during meals, and join her card games.”
