Key Review Excerpts
“Ms. Tina answered any questions (and there were many) about the process and the "what comes next" questions. Ms. Betty is the very best nurse ever and goes above and beyond her job description.”
“Every time I visited there it smelled like urine and fecal matter walking down the hall. I would walk in my grandmas room to trash everywhere and even see fecal matter on the floor.”
“My brother stayed at this horrible place for rehab for 3 days he had kidney failure , they did not make sure he made his dialysis appointment, did not call 911 after seeing him severely ill, i had to get the head nurse to call after he started having seizures then they called”
