The nurses and ancillary medical personnel were absolutely wonderful! Could not have asked for a better experience. The food was very good. Can only think of 2 meals out of approximately 42 that were not up to my expectations. Plenty of choices too! Also never had to wait more than 2-3 minutes for my nurse call light to be answered. All in all, a great experience!
