lmprove employee scheduling

The dining room has multiple flies in it all the time. The night time staffing is inadequate and not fair to either the residents and the staff. During my stay, there have been two incidents of the CMIs getting into verbal arguments. Their voices get very loud and they use profanity. I also heard an aide cuss a resident. I have always been treated with respect. I received both good physical and occupational therapy. My placement at Parsons was not appropriate. The residents' mental and phyical deficients are muc

Warm welcome

Very impressed with everyone. [name removed], director community relations, is very helpful. She remembered who I was and the details of my mother. On day of admission various staff welcomed mom. Anyone we met on staff introduced themselves and if involved in mom's care let us know from kitchen to floor. They provided a cart to place her belongings on which they took to her room and emptied the cart. Family feels very good about choosing Parsons
