What this means for your family
Salina Presbyterian Manor offers a comprehensive continuum of care that is highly valued by families for long-term planning. However, given the serious reports regarding emergency response times and staffing levels in the assisted living and health care units, we strongly recommend asking for a tour of the specific unit your loved one will occupy and inquiring about their current staffing ratios and emergency call response protocols.
