Key Review Excerpts

My father said he had not been checked on all day. He said he kept pushing the button for help and he heard staff say 'Ignore him, He complains too much!'

Respite care family member · 2021☆☆☆☆

Not once were we informed that her braces were broke nor that it caused an open sore that was not being addressed or treated.

Long-term resident's family · 2018☆☆☆☆

The staff seems really upbeat, bubbly, and nice however there were many times my grandmother and other residents would tell me they were mean.

Grandchild of resident · 2019☆☆☆☆
