Key Review Excerpts
“Instead of providing assistance with dignity, staff laughed at him after he had an accident he physically could not prevent. Mocking a disabled, bedridden patient is beyond unprofessional—it is abusive.”
“They started off professionally then it was just lack off duty’s. People yelling at night, patients walking into other patients room while they sleep.”
“This facility stole money and over charged for things they had no right to charge for, because they knew nobody could go in during the beginning of the pandemic.”
