Key Review Excerpts
“They left medication on a patients counter without making sure he took them. And they didn’t notice a blood clot that caused him to have to go to the hospital and get his whole foot removed.”
“Due to the facility's repeated failure to provide necessary care, I would not recommend it. Notably, there is a lack of advocates for residents with memory impairments, and staff are unkind when family members advocate on their behalf.”
“The facility was always clean and smelled nice, everytime I went to visit my loved one. Staff was nice and my loved one was always clean and attended too.”
