Certain staff members have an attitude, especially towards POC. There was also an incident where a resident required urgent medical attention & they refused to contact the ambulance, citing they’re busy & ‘its not their policy to contact an ambulance, the resident needs to call for one if they require medical attention’, despite the resident being violently ill & not physically being able speak or pick up a phone. If the outsider who was aware of the situation that day had not called an ambulance for the ill resident during that crucial day, Monda Lodge would have been held responsible for the consequences that could have ensued. I would not trust the care in this facility or at least, go through their policies with a fine tooth comb before you send your loved ones here.
