Key Review Excerpts
“My grandmother was there maybe a year... She fell out of bed several times and banged her head on the floor. They didn't have sensor pad on bed. She was a fall risk.”
“My husband was there for respite(5) days. They never got him up & didn't know he could even walk. He went in with 33 Norco and came out with 17 ! He developed a bedspread that never healed.”
“If you love someone in this facility I would strongly encourage you to find a better place for them. They were mean, rude, uncaring, neglectful bullies.”
