Rita was excellent in many different ways. She always made sure I ate my breakfast in the morning before I took my pills. Pills on empty stomach would upset my stomach. She always ensured that I was comfortable. I had enough linens, bed sheets. She made sure that my meals were always ordered from the cafeteria and that I always had a tray. In addition, I like to have tea at 6:00 am and 4:30 pm. Rita and Barbara had alarms set on their phones for my tea time. The alarm would go off and either one of them would say, "Paul's Chai Time", with two decaf teabags and two Splenda's and a little milk. That made me feel very special. Rita is the best!!!
