To update my review. Please give a “dying” man electrolytes to drink and cranberry juice before this goes to state…. Food still very, very bad report-ably, and not allowed to…, . ——- They don’t respond to call buttons In a reasonable amount of time and the meals are not adequate. … Now my friend says he has bedsores and wants to be transferred. They told him he can’t, but I don’t think that’s true. What about his rights? He told me to do research for him. My father is a lawyer….
