Key Review Excerpts
“They will abuse and neglect them. They will tell them to go to the bathroom in their pants because they are short staffed and won’t take them to the bathroom. They will allow them to fall 4 times and NEVER put safety measures forward to avoid these falls.”
“My mother was left in the bathroom for over an hour every time she had to go. When she asked for help or needed something she was either ignored or have her needed item thrown at her.”
“My brother is showing daily improvement and has a positive attitude thanks to the great care he's receiving. And by the way, the entire staff, from the women at the desk as you come in, to the people that are mopping the floors, are all doing it with smiles on their faces.”
