Key Review Excerpts
“The building is old (so are the residents, to be fair!) but it is clean. It did not smell of urine or any of the normal unpleasant smells you associate with nursing homes.”
“Don't even try to use the call button for immediate help. Their immediate help is 2+ hours later responding to your call.”
“I've witnessed staff not open doors for people struggling in wheelchairs. I've witnessed staff talking loudly and impatiently with non-English speaking patients.”
