Key Review Excerpts
“The care at the Pearl was life threatening to my mother. She complained of a UTI for a week at the Pearl. I told them to do a UTI test and the container sat on her dresser for a week.”
“The staff was compassionate and did their best to make my mom comfortable during her stay. The nursing staff was very professional, knowledgeable, and conscientious about understanding her health history.”
“They fed her food that she was not supposed to eat more than once even after I took the issue up to administration and was assured that it was being handled - it wasn't at all an the problem continued.”
