What is the process that takes place if a resident has a complaint or an issue they want addressed?

If the resident has a complaint or an issue they can tell anyone and that is then passed on through their direct supervisor. The management team meets every morning to discuss and the executive director then handles the situation.

Cost depends on what the resident has but with Medicaid if they are wanting a studio apartment plus the three meals/two snacks a day, and nursing services, the cost would be $943.
