They have to work out some growing pains in the business still. What is said that will get done and what gets done, doesn't always happen. They don't always think of the residents versus the comfort of the workers, for example: it's so cold there, they've got it down to 72. They are a company and they are there to make money; they're not in great favor, but this is my one and only experience with a retirement home.
My dad enjoyed his time at Highgate, and the help with rehab especially. All staff have been fantastic to work with, and appreciate all the help. Thank you so much!
