Medication and attention to needs
Several reviews report problems with pain control and medication follow-through.
Some families describe delays or gaps in help with urgent needs, including answering call buttons and addressing pain or catheter-related concerns. Others mention medication-related problems, including being given the wrong doses or not having medications handled properly. A few reviewers contrast this with more positive accounts of nurses being proactive and medication being administered on time.
