Dad is happy

Staff are extremely friendly. Communication has been lacking. My Dad moved floors where there was better supervision (not memory care). There was no communication about the significant price increase from floor to floor despite having an apartment with the same setup/same view. Took two months to get pictures hung or to address TV/phone line issues. There is more but that should be enough of an example to get an idea. There have been a few issues with nursing. The director of nursing is terrific. My Dad developed lower leg swelling/significant edema. I was away because of illness. When I went to see him, I noticed right away and had to take him to the ER. No one noticed. Some of the nurses are wonderful. Some, not at the same level. One medication mishap. That being said, my Dad loves it there which makes us happy.
