Key Review Excerpts
“The call lights were a joke. One night My roommate and I had our call light on for an hour and a half. I went looking for a CNA, found 1, she was asleep in a chair in a patients room.”
“The facility is quite dated, and not fancy at all, but my condition improved thanks to the skilled PT/OT professionals who set me up with a daily routine and provided much encouragement.”
“My mother was there for 7 months and she also died there. They lost everything single piece of clothing we had brought her and put old stained gross clothes in her closet that were the wrong size and they weren't hers.”
