Key Review Excerpts
“The nurses are always busy and can’t be bothered to help or answer questions. When I am there in person, I find them to be snippy and short with me.”
“I've had my mom here for almost 5 years now and have watched this placed do a complete turn around in the last couple of years. The core staff do they're jobs and they do them well.”
“The first full day she pushed the call button because she needed to use the bathroom, when someone finely showed up she was told YOU HAVE A DIAPER ON JUST GO!!”
