Reviews
Would be zero stars if allowable. Keep your loved ones out if you have the power to. Little compassion demonstrated. Little empathy demonstrated. It takes just as much time to deliver information with kindness as it does with a lack of kindness. Medication was not administered even though it was scheduled, my mother was allowed to languish in her own waste, and there was at least one day where her chart was inaccurately dated. There were a few professional, kind people, but overall, patients are not treated with respect or dignity. Ron, a nurse; Saray, at the front desk; nurse practitioner Ann(e); Michael, admissions; and Marquet, the phys therapist were the five who showed consistent care and kindness.
