“I want to thank the wonderful staff on the 7th for taking wonderful care of my mom. They have shown not only care and compassion for her, but most importantly love ❤️.”
“This morning I waited for my 6:00 AM medication, never got it. Minutes to 8:00 AM I went to the nursing desk to inform them that I did not receive the medication, "are you sure, because the nurse signed that it was given"”
“I would never recommend this place to no one. There understaff and they don't help the patients please I'm being very honest.”
