This place must be run by the patients! They have a operator to answer phone and transfer for what reason? Nurses stations just rings and no option to leave voice mail. The director of nursing goes to voice mail and again useless to leave message no one returns calls. Can't even make sure patients get to important doctors appointments! Pathetic.. I will be filing a complaint with the state ASAP
