Key Review Excerpts
“My dad was on hospice care and the night shift support lady knew his life history, she said he wasn't sleeping much so they had talked a lot, sang Christmas songs, a very kind lady... and there were many there just like her.”
“My mom went into the hospital for heart surgery. I was not warned that she would need to be evaluated before returning back to the facility. They told me that she could not return to the facility because she needed a low sodium diet.”
“We finally got the call and 2 nurses came out to review him before starting the process of arranging for him to move in. We were called the next day and told that he does not qualify because he has slight memory issues.”
