Key Review Excerpts
“The food served is excellent and second to none. It would be nice if the portions served were more but I guess the Facility budget doesn't allow that.”
“They have only showered her 3 times in three months. The food is very lacking and is served luke warm at best.”
“Don't call there to talk to a patient because it takes forever for staff to answer the phone and when they finally do answer they put you on hold and forget you.”
