The Atrium at Rocky Hill

4.4
My dad liked being at the atrium. I thought he would have received better health care, but I guess that's not what they do. My dad contracted shingles on his face, and it took a while to be treated correctly. Overall, it was a much better place than the nursing home he is in now.
