Key Review Excerpts
“The food continues to be overcooked and tasteless. Requests to management, specifically Heather Dartt, get a nod but little to no follow through.”
“It has come to my attention that the physical therapy is about 15 to 20 minutes a day. The rest of the time is spent sitting in a chair watching television. At $17,000 a month I think we could do better.”
“My 89 year old mother with advanced dementia was not given proper surveillance for her condition. I got 5 phone calls in 9 days that she had fallen.”
