Key Review Excerpts
“Between both parents the Canal View was part of our family for over 7 consecutive years and we couldn’t have had better care, love and support for them.”
“Staff needs improvement.. When you visit enough you notice they only 'play nice' when family is around. I've seen my grandma with dementia sleeping in the dining room by herself at least an hour past all clean up.”
“They are literally starving my aunt to death. They are incompetent and uncaring. I will be reporting them for their neglect. Check on your loved ones.”
