Key Review Excerpts
“My step dad fell out the bed twice and they left him on the floor we seen him on camera on the floor and had to drive to pick him up. Staff do not care about clients.”
“The drawers were filthy and had dead bugs in them. The heater was breaking away from the wall. They had fans going I'm guessing to try and cover the smell.”
