Key Review Excerpts

My mother is in here and has had more hospital trips than any other nursing home she’s been to! I got told she threw herself off the bed but yet she’s paralyzed from the waist down!!!

Long-term resident's family · 2023☆☆☆☆

Took 3 hours to get pain pill. Ask for doctor to request test for UTI last week. Nobody did. Brought to pt and was left there by herself. Waited over 2 hours to get sheets put on bed.

Long-term resident's family · 2023☆☆☆☆

My father was here for less than 24 hours. He had fallen twice. The first time he was left yelling on the floor for 40 + minutes in plain view.
