Horrible Place - not a person, just a bed

My dad was admitted to Symphony Tri-Cities in[date removed], after a hospital stay. We arrived later afternoon and were basically shown his rehab room and not offered any other assistance. We went out numerous times to ask for water, about dinner, what the care plan was, etc. They were busy talking, which was much more important than a patient. One of use went out to get my Dad food and something to drink. When we left that night, we asked that they please check in on him. At 2:00 a.m. my Mom received a phone call

Charming Assisted Living

The small size of this assisted living gives it such a cozy and safe feeling for my mother. We toured many other communities, but the quaint feeling of this center has proven to be the right choice. The director of the unit is warm and has eyes on my mom's care needs.
