Additional Comments:

"In reviewing the facility's operations, it's noted that the staff consistently demonstrates a high level of care and respect towards patients. However, there are occasional delays in medication administration during peak hours. Enhancing staff numbers during these times could mitigate this issue. Furthermore, the physical environment is well-maintained, though signage to aid navigation for those with cognitive impairments could be improved. Overall, the commitment to quality care is evident, but addressing these areas could further enhance patient experience."
