Key Review Excerpts

The staff and admins are the tops!! Friendly, helpful and full of fun... The food is delicious and as I am a lifelong Vegan person and Oscar personally cooks me meals using Tofu etc.

Upon being admitted to the hospital they discovered stage 4 pressure sores on her backside. The Dr. told me that was from months not weeks of neglect.
