Key Review Excerpts
“Since day 1 we battled incompetence in medication administration. They missed doses some days. They doubled doses some days. They recorded meds given that weren’t.”
“The bed was not made right it was covered up with a damp towel over wet spot, refrigerator was dirty spilled juice in and on door, stains on carpet, bathroom was dirty.”
“The food is always warm and lots of options. The room sizes are HUGE and worked great when it came time to 'downsize' all their stuff.”
