Key Review Excerpts
“My grandmother used to live here for a while before she passed, in her final days there was this attendant who was very patient with her and treated her with much care”
“Curious as to why the sweet little nook on the 2nd floor was now all end tables and fake plants. I had a feeling by the looks of it that it was to keep people out, but the truth is far uglier, my friends. The management who have offices (with doors mind you) below were sick of hearing the sweet old ladies chit chat so they took the chairs out and replaced it with this hideous dibatchery.”
“Check on your family members.they're running low on staff outside of hospice care.”
