If I could leave zero stars I would. My mom moved in to assisted living on July 31. Her two emergency buttons (neck pendant and button in bathroom) weren’t working as of August 2. It was only because I was there with her and she needed urgent help that this was noticed. Unacceptable. I walked the unit for a staff person to help and found no one.
