Overall ER took better care of me than I expected. After being admitted it is hard to rate as I ate very little of a couple of meals over three days. The meals smelled great though. On the second day meal services called to go over food choices which was nice to know they do. Nurses depend on their individuality. Some would come around several times and honestly take a minute to see how your doing and if you needed anything while others were around much less and for short periods of time. Part of the hospital is quite old but hospital staff does a really good job of doing their duties. Parking lot is quite large but can be exceedingly full during the day. The hospital is large and equipped to handle a lot of various things.
