Key Review Excerpts

The clincher came today when I received a call and was told that they gave my father the wrong meds. Now I'm sitting here at the emergency room waiting to see if he's going to be alright.

Place is Disgustingly dirty. My dad was never given a shower. He has pressure point wound that they left unattended for so long, that Now it is Huge and Infected!

Family member of resident · 2024☆☆☆☆

Amanda was so very kind and helpful during the admissions process. She took time answering our questions and made us feel that my brother, Brian would be in good hands.
