That says a lot!

The staff were not always able to do everything they needed to do to care for my grand dad, felt it may have mostly been because of lack of time and resources perhaps but it was disappointing. On one ocassion I felt it led to hospital stay for my grand dad that could have been better handled. eg My grand dad needed electolytes and they didn't have any and didn't have time to get the...
