Key Review Excerpts
“When I went in on a Sunday recently, one of the CNA's on the Memory Unit was taking time to curl one of the residents hair to get her ready for church service.”
“The smell hits you in the face as soon as you walk in. High turnover rates within the staff leading to poor quality of care.”
