Key Review Excerpts
“When pressing the button to ask for assistance it took staff over an hour to respond and by that time my family had already wet his pants (which is so degrading).”
“My mom had her light on for over a hour for help to the bathroom. She sat in her own poop over a hour until we started calling them to get to her. No respect.”
“The staff of nurses, et all, treat her with dignity and respect. My mom said she feels safe there. I feel good knowing she is safe and not alone.”
