Key Review Excerpts
“My dad is in this facility and IT IS HORRIBLE!! Within 2 months he went from sitting up on the side of the bed drinking coffee to unresponsive and is close to death. He has 11 bedsores that are never properly cleaned or bandaged.”
“The majority of employees see it only as a job they have to put up with. Having had the opportunity to spend time at other facilities I can honestly say I would not recommend this place unless there are no other options available.”
“This facility decided to discard my father's belongings who is not passed away without his permission. I was told his belongings were there and I drove 3.5 hours to go get his belongings that he wrote and released them to me and when I got there the employees then told me my father's belongings were thrown out.”
