Key Review Excerpts
“Although the PT was excellent, everything else about the home was quite unsatisfactory. The home was very understaffed. If my dad had an accident in his diaper, he would often wait over an hour to be cleaned up.”
“The facility is dingy, smells bad and half of the cabinets in her room were falling off the hinges. The facility is run down and in desperate need of repair and make over.”
“When my grandma passed away not only did they lose her glasses. But they never called to let my father know. The funeral home called and said I have your mom.”
