Key Review Excerpts
“They covered up my Great grandmas break in pelvis !! She suffers from Dementia & they left her for days before sending her to the ER because they didn’t want to tell us she had a fall.”
“My aunt went to their rehab center after a fall and hospital visit. They left her in bed most days, she was soaked with urine and feces most of the time.”
“The activities team here, Debbie Pietsch and Camie Shirley, are fantastic! Debbie does an amazing job at organizing all sorts of activities and people/groups coming in.”
