Carroll Hospital Neglects Geriatric Care

I find it ironic that Carroll boasts of great advancements while completely ignoring the fastest growing percentage of it's population. 
Carroll Hospital Center does not have a geriatric care unit that would have the capabilities of helping senior citizens with special needs...I know, I know, It just doesn't pay to keep these aging citizens healthy and vital. If a senior citizen happens to go to this Hospital with any semblance of memory issues they quickly turn them away because no insurance pays for this type of care so they want no part of it. Carroll Hospital Center neglects to provide balanced care for our aging population. Don't take my word for it, just give them a call and ask for information about their Geriatric Care Unit....(doesn't exist)
