Let’s Get Social
I was just released from the Palm Gardens Rehab Center 2 weeks. Terry caring nursing care. Attentive CNAs. pTPT/OT staff very knowledgeable and gentle while persuading us to do even more. This was during the beginning of the outbreak of CV19. The administration was far ahead of the mandates. I felt very safe there. I was there for 6 weeks.
All the direct deposit checks, like mine, went straight to the bank account without having to hold one's nose.
You just can't trust anyone these days.
