<strong>and</strong> lack of information provided regarding care. In the past three months there has been a<br />
notable increase in the number of compliments posted in the website, 58 of the postings<br />
have been positive feedback. An example of a recent compliment from a gentleman who<br />

comforted <strong>and</strong> re-assured.<br />
