The nursing staff at Lynden CHCC were caring and competent. The facility was clean and room was large. Communication between staff and family was not to my liking. I had to make a lot of calls (including medicare mediator)to get an antibiotic administered for a confirmed UTI, and my mom expressed concerns over some paperwork that proved to be valid concerns. It was just a hassle as compared to her stay at another facility.
