    Im just blown away by the staff at southbridge lakehead. I have a family member there and everytime we call to see how he is doing the ppl cannot speak English!!!! One time they hauled him out of bed into his wheelchair to the phone, he ia partially deaf and cannot hear on a phone. It is so frustrating and actually horrifying to think these people are taking care of loved ones!!! We go every second day to visit and have to remind them to empty his catheter bag like really?!?!?! Just disgusted at the care offered.

    Great staff psw nurses and quite a bunch of various residences . Residences are there for different 😜😜needs a bigger new building modern and more elevators and definitely more nurses for helping each other nurses are run ragged but are tired and don't it. Needs a fixing in kitchen and more dining room staff food is ok but not the best too salty and too hard meats for our dentures. New staff are confusing at times until they get the tricks of the trade. They are good to there people and are quite friendly and usually all talk to you with a smile. Needs a bigger and more activity so residences are not so sad. Needs more private rooms because walls are too thin hear everything on rooms from far away.. definitely needs more dancing and romancing and a different place for the folks to have som fun and not just talk to people that are not zombie and lost looking. Ask Sophie petrillio from nmaude show she knows how to😙👍👍🤩🎶🎶🎈😊🎈😅🎂😭😂🥰🥰 ask the golden girls and needs some good looking men to cheer up rose, blanche Betty and maudeie. Needs sexy younger boys around sixty to seventy five that look like the Clooney, the gear athe Brad Pitt and Elvis to romance us young widows to give us some smiles and kisses and hugs to cheer up our lonely days. Maybe our smiles will get better with added attraction 😉. Thank you also hire some European men from France Italy, and Ukraine and ladies too.dance the polka all night long😂😂😭😭😊🎶🥰🥰😂😂😀😀👍👍🇺🇦🇺🇦
