Disappointed
 

So many families have to send the loved ones to rehabilitation.   They don’t qualify for inpatient rehab and not strong enough  to go home.  The facilities are dirty.  They are understaffed.  Overworked.  Folks come out with wounds,weaker, not getting the care they need.  There has to be accountability.  Our loved one who need rehabilitation deserve a safe, clean well staffed facility with staff who are caring.
