Poor health care they don't even give the patients their medicine

After bringing in paperwork for admittance couldn't even be bothered with any response and I guess I should be happy we had to look elsewhere and dodged a bullet here. If they can't even assist you in the process of coming to be a resident then I can only imagine how they treat their current residents. Sad
