The doctor here on the night my father-in-law stayed here was the best doctor we had during the entire month he was hospitalized and in the nursing home.

My sister visited recently and saw one of the nurses pushing down on my mom's broken shoulder when she clearly has a SLING in place while putting her in her wheelchair. UNACCEPTABLE. I dont care how busy you are, you better be checking a patient's chart and conditions first before transporting them to a wheelchair or their bed. A male nurse also witnessed this event in front of my sister and denied it happened. FIX THIS NOW.
