Staff are fantastic. Everyone from nurses, therapy, food service to housekeeping are always friendly and positive. I am going home today with everything I hoped for, physically. My stay was only seven days but I am grateful that I am so much better after such a short stay. Special kudos to Jasper (4 legged staff) for bringing a smile to my face.

My sister, my Uncle, and I take turns coming there to make sure my mother's being taken care of like she's supposed to be. One thing I have a hard time with is hygiene care. Numerous times that I've gone there. My mother's nails are dirty underneath the nail.polish. Or she isn't showered. She has to wait a long time to go to the bathroom. As she needs assistance. And even if we call there at night to ask them to make sure to put her hearing aids on the charger, quite often, It's not done, so in the morning without her hearing aids, she can't hear. So who knows how long she's going before we get there. That must be horrible for her. I realize they're understaffed, but that's not my mom's fault. She shouldn't have to suffer for that. The last couple of times i've went there.Everybody's in a crabby mood. Patients are all sitting around the nurse's station, falling asleep as if they are sedated. I will say the there's a chef named steven who is a saint. He really cares about the patients and it's consistent.
