There are definitely some employees who are caring, friendly, and do their best, but our experience also showed some serious areas that need improvement. My biggest concern was the lack of urgency when my mom’s health started declining. She repeatedly told staff that she needed help and wanted to see a doctor, but she was reassured that she was fine.…”
