What this means for your family
While you may find individual nurses who are highly compassionate, the facility is currently facing serious reports regarding sanitation and staffing levels. I strongly recommend conducting an unannounced tour to inspect the cleanliness of the shower rooms and dining areas before making a decision.

Key Review Excerpts
“The diningroom is always messy. The patients shower rooms are very unsanitary. They leave dirty washcloths in there and another of times feces is left in the shower chair bucket.”
“I would like to recognized Melissa Oergel on the outstanding care she gave my Uncle while being in WeCare. She was a very compassionate, happy and a blessing to him while he was in WeCare.”
“After the changeover, the attitude of the staff and especially the management ( I am singling out the social director especially for his unfeeling and uncaring attitude) changed.”
