It appears that the biggest problem areas deal with medical infections and communications across abroad range including doctors, nurses, staff, about medicines and discharge.
In the prior 3 surveys the hospital was rated C, B, B, and now back to a C. Prior to that it was awarded an "A" a couple of times.
Given the current trend, maybe the Hospital's Directors should give consideration to a shakeup of management so that we actually get the high quality service they always seem to be bragging about.

sepsis is a very serious matter at any age. One wonders just how many of the medical professionals hired have geriatric special training?
