CriticalIt was convenient to my mom and sister. The staff immediately took brand new pants and snacks/drinks from dads fridge 2 hrs after he passed or a week prior to my sister visiting. Call the family immediately when staff says they pass. They waited 2 hrs for hospital/nurse to call us. Then wanted everything cleared up , available for next person within a week?
