Key Review Excerpts
“My friend who was still recovering from open heart surgery was in distress and no one at the facility could be bothered to help her. When we got to her room she was literally suffocating.”
“An employee of Magnolia Gardens assaulted my 95-year-old mother so violently that my mother had to go into the hospital.”
“I use the term "cruise ship on land". To me that is what it is. We found the best place. Karen was very patient with us and gave us great tours and info. Chef Roy is fantastic.”
