Key Review Excerpts

“The only complain i could do is two things they knew she has some issues and on the weekends , they took a little longer to feed her which is understanding .”
“My mother has a bed sore. She received little to no physical or speech therapy. My sister and I spoke to several staff members for supervisor to administrative. They have little to no compassion.”
