Key Review Excerpts
“I was uncomfortable with the condition of the facility, but over the past few weeks - big changes! Skilled workers have descended on this facility, repairing and painting walls, new lights, new ceiling panels, polished floors…big time face lift!”
“The ceilings were stained and peeling off from water leaks. Mold and mildew were visible in bathrooms and around windows. Meals were served in styrofoam to go boxes with plastic utensils and did not match what was on the tray list.”
“My grandmother had a stroke and was unable to fend for herself. We told them several times that she was diabetic and they didn’t listen and kept giving her sweet tea and even gave her a cupcake.”
