Key Review Excerpts
“He was a care level 4, and when he pushed his button in the middle of the night, the “care” aid would walk in and yell at him that it was the middle of the night and he needed to go to sleep.”
“The staff is genuine and responds quickly to calls, the food is AMAZING, but most importantly everytime I talk to my grandma on the phone and she invites me over, she asks if I “want to come over to her home”.”
