Key Review Excerpts
“Everyone took amazing care of me with kindness and empathy, while all were good there are a few I want to acknowledge for going above and beyond.”
“I saw a man on the floor lying in a pool of his own blood yelling for help and it took me running to tell the nurse, otherwise he wouldn’t have been helped for hours.”
“One night, my father was found crawling naked on the floor, trying to reach the bathroom because no one responded to his call button.”
