Key Review Excerpts
“The facility is well-kept and she reported that the food was reasonably good. Most of the staff were quite friendly and helpful, although there were a few that were somewhat less friendly.”
“My father left here on a stretcher in an altered state!!! The staff neglected him !! I have a list of things, but I will keep this review short as possible. The facility was not doing physical therapy with him; the facility was not clean.”
“My dad would have died if it wasn't for the vigilance of my family. He was there for a short period of time (11 days) and became extremely ill. They didn't "attempt" to do their jobs unless we were present.”
