I am in a long term medical

I am in a long term medical facility actually a step down from a nursing home because I was having numerous seizures and I couldn't be by myself. The personnel here knows very little about seizures which scares me a lot. I have had seizures where I have been told I just sit there. I have had that kind many times before I cames here and the neurologist said it was a seizure that are actually more common in children. The personnel and patients here don't believe they are seizures because I " don't shake" I am very nervous the ignorance in the staff here is going to cause me to get seriously injured. This is the only place my insurance covers.
