Key Review Excerpts
“First time I visited my relative I was amazed that there was no stench, my relative looked and smelled clean. The facility was clean and no stench was detected at all no matter where I walked”
“The smells, the overwhelming stench of urine, old facility that has multiple coats of paint. The staff is underpaid, which explains why it is in the condition it is.”
“I have been a witness to abuse of patients. My father was laying in feces infecting his pressure sores and I believe he died prematurely because of this place.”
