Pain Meds come from Waupun. Did not arrive on Friday. Was told would have to wait until Monday to get anything. Offered an ice pack
Anthony Vera
Complete lack of communication. The medical staff seems to think the can go against patients regular doctors orders. Completely cutting medication that patient has been taking for 30 years. I will move her out the very first chance I get. My wife was in tears over the way they were treating her mother.
Carol Cooper
I was at St. Francis Home in 2019 and I received the best care and I was able to go to Chapel for mass and for a visit. I am having back surgery at St. Agnes Hospital and I wanted to go back to St. Francis Home for Rehabilitation but I was not able because of my Insurance. I am also a Associate to the Congregation Sisters of St Agnes.
