Key Review Excerpts

It’s dirty dead cockroaches on the floor. Yes I have pictures.

Family member · 2023☆☆☆☆

My father look forward to his treatment and is making great effort to recover from his stroke. He was moved from another facility which didn't care for the patient, but Mindi the physical therapist is very friendly and caring with my father and other clients.

Family member · 2023★★★★★

Unsanitary treatment and urine blankets were placed over my sister's head while the staff laughed. She sat in urine diapers, her teeth rotten and hair matted.
