Key Review Excerpts
“The nurse came in with the food on a tray & set it on a table, rolled it in front of her and just left the room-while one side of her body couldn’t even move and they did not even adjust her bed-so that she could eat without drooling on herself!”
“Very disappointed with the highschool bullying and lack of training my wife has gotten here.”
