Key Review Excerpts
“I witnessed flies and maggots on a lady. I was told not to answer call lights because that person felt entitled. They sat trays on peoples bedside‘s that can’t even use their arms.”
“Consistent neglect, abuse, and staff stealing medications. An overnight nurse assaulted him, came back to work a week later. Then 2 days later... neglected to put my step-father to bed, left him in the wheelchair overnight, covered in vomie & blood.”
“This facility has her up and walking completely normal again in under 2 weeks. They did well for her and she’s still doing great. Very skilled staff here.”
