My mother-in-law and I thoroughly enjoyed the shake rattle and roll night! They are both so talented!

Skilled nursing care is great but communication is not good. Was here for 15 days before anyone let us know what the “plan” was, i.e. how long I would be here or if there is an estimated ‘go home’ date. Finally had to insist on knowing something. No communication from whoever makes decisions. And on a side note the TV service is awful! The best channels do not work and it’s difficult to find a channel. For someone who has nothing else to do while waiting for promised physical therapy they should be able to at least enjoy TV. The night male tech does a terrific job! Name is Tyler, or Travis?? Sorry that his name slips my mind, he really deserves a shout out!
