Key Review Excerpts

“My last visual of that dump when picking my mom up on day of discharge is seeing her sitting on the toilet slumped over alone while bathroom door and room door wide open for all to see her like that from the hallway!”

Family member of resident · 2025★☆☆☆☆

“The staff and therapists took very good care of my husband. The facility was clean, and he really enjoyed the food.”

Spouse of resident · 2026★★★★★

“I was given half of a prescribed dose of pain medicine the morning after I landed here from hospital. When I asked about the dose, the nurse LIED to me and said the dose was all in one tablet, though my med list did not list the increased tablet strength.”
