“Just got short of help, they put me in a room with someone who has a cold and steady coughing I didn't come here to get sick. My help button has been ringing for 1hr and 45minutes and nobody yet . Hoping my insurance will move me somewhere else very soon. How can you bring cold lunch fish and tator tots at that, no salt or sugar for the the tea and melted ice cream and i'm not on a sugar free diet…”

“Serving Patients Breakfast on a Saturday for Supper is a joke. Biscuit, One small sausage patty and cold grits. Get for real. I have had to bring my love one food from the outside two to three times a day for now going on her fourth week. The person running this place will be reported. I've seen people in prison get better food.”
