Resident & family reviews
I WAS A PATIENT ON THE SECOND FLOOR AND THE STAFF IS WONDERFUL CAN'T SAY NOTHING ABOUT THEM. ON THE OTHER HAND THE WAY MANAGEMENT MAINTAINS STAFFING IS POOR. THEY ONLY HAD 3 CNAS AND 2 NURSES TO EACH PATIENT ON DAYS AND 3 CNAS AND ONE NURSE DURING THE EVENINGS. IF IT WAS NOT FOR THE STAFF ON THAT FLOOR I WOULD'VE WALKED OUT AMA. ALSO THE DON AND ADMINISTRATOR WERE VERY HARD TO GET A HOLD OF AND ALSO TO MEET WITH.
