Key Review Excerpts
“My mom died from an infection that went untreated for ELEVEN days. Despite having knowledge that she required immediate treatment for any infection. Her first urine was deemed “old” by the lab when they received it.”
“I observed cockroaches crawling all over the floors, bathrooms, and walls, dirty unwashed floors, patient's verbally and physically assaulting the nurses and assistants and each other.”
“The Ambassador program is very essential to me and to the facility as a whole. For example if I have questions they usually have the answers but if they don’t, they make sure they find the answers for me.”
