“Only put one star because NO STARS wasn’t an option. I would NEVER recommend anyone put place your loved one here. This is DEATHCARE!!!!!! My grandmother is currently in ccu with a gaping whole in her back, sepsis, pneumonia and more & the only reason she is at the hospital is because I came I saw I demanded.

The administrator was friendly and welcoming and promised all these wonderful things about this place but nothing about this place is wonderful. I’m sure some staff are kind people but the nurses I have encountered have been rude and distasteful.…”
