Staffing and response concerns

Some reviewers raise concerns about staffing levels and delayed attention to urgent requests.

While many reviews praise responsiveness, several negative reviews describe times when patients’ needs were not answered promptly or when staff seemed short-staffed. A few reviewers describe missed or ignored call requests and inadequate monitoring for medical needs, including concerns about oxygen/heart-related equipment. There are also complaints about care during outbreaks and about emergency response decisions, which further drives the variability in experiences.
