IF you place anyone here, be prepared to advocate and oversee all of their medical needs, senior staff is incompetent and underqualified , let medications run out, cannot take simple vitals manually and the RCC goes to the resident and leaves any and all issues in their lap, this place needs a complete overhaul of senior staff
