The staff, Administration and Medical Staff, also his outstanding doctor, Dr Paul takes care of his every need. In spite of all the health challenges that he has, the care and the beautiful surroundings he says mikes him feel like he is in a resort.

The nurses do not clean her up, and when they do, they do not do so properly. The language barrier is also a problem.
