What this means for your family

Key Review Excerpts
“The EMTs that brought me here were so surprised with how Bad the condition is here that he asked if I was sure I wanted to stay. I was placed in a room with two other people. The patients walk around with no mask.The filth is everywhere, roaches and flies in the room the first night there.”
“My Aunt was in this place for 1 week. Building is old. Her room had a leak in ceiling. Not a great place to heal for anyone. Hard to get help over phone. However, if you go in person staff very helpful.”
“I was in pain once i got here I couldn’t feel my hands or anything and thankfully they gave me all of that back so I can come back home fully me again.”
