Key Review Excerpts
“At one time this may have been a great facility. My mother was here and there was constant problems. Don't get me wrong there was some staff there that tried to do their job but the majority of them did not do their jobs.”
“The food was terrible; it did not even look like it was editable and would not follow a reasonable diet recommendations (Over processed and carb loaded) Physical therapy would not do their jobs but constantly on their phones instead of working.”
