Key Review Excerpts
“At first I thought it was good for 93 yo Mom. But then, they gave her 17 medications that were for another patient! THESE WERE NOT HER MEDS! This woman had to have her food pureed, how did they force so many pills into her? Her body could not recover from that ,and she died a few days later!!”
“My brother is there for rehab. Everyone is so nice. From the physical therapy occupation staff nurses ,cna, laundry staff , office staff and housekeeping . They answer all our questions and keep us in the loop as to how he is doing.”
“My nana pressed the call light for these nurses to come help her to the bathroom and she ended up having an accident because it took the nurses an HOUR AND A HALF to come answer her call light.”
