What this means for your family
Given the consistent reports of hygiene issues and medication management concerns, we strongly advise families to conduct an in-person tour during a weekend or evening shift to observe staffing levels firsthand. Please ask management specifically about their current protocol for medication administration and how they ensure timely responses to patient call lights.
