Key Review Excerpts
“My mother was there for rehabilitation after heart surgery. She was doing amazing until she moved to Sedalia and started getting treatment at Fair View. She called us screaming in pain... My mom went into cardiac arrest and died.”
“I go to check on her today and she is crying cleaning feces off the floor , the nurse walks in and back out. I help her clean up and I decide right then and there she would be better off with us.”
“They treat residents awful. Bedsores, lay in bowel and urine, dirty dentures and wait till last minute to call family if something is not right with their family.”
