Key Review Excerpts
“When I came here the first I was talking to my Jesus and he told me it's sufficient for you. And then Admin Rachel she told me if I can be a veteran you can do the program. Some of the staff was good bad the ugly but it comes with the territory.”
“I never wait more than 5 minutes on a call light with a CNA. When it comes to being diapered it takes special people to preform the act of humanity and cared for in a professional manner.”
“but if you want to leave on any kind of overnight pass, they will not give you your medication, trapping a grown adult in a situation where you have to cancel your plans because you don't have your medication.”
