Key Review Excerpts
“The therapy department was wonderful and worked with my mom and got her back to where she needed to be so she could return back home.”
“My dad (wheelchair bound) did not receive care from the staff and several times was found in his bed in the morning around 10 am and had not been taken to breakfast or given his meds.”
“The staff will confirm they received orders to up her oxygen but never do, they send her to the emergency room against mine and her wishes then do not notify me that they sent her, they NEVER answer their phones.”
