“They are the worse place you can leave your loved one. They let my sister fall several times and the last time she died. I should have stayed with her but they insured me they would watch her. They need to be closed down.”

★Bev Watts-Wray · 2025-08-13 · via Google
“The worst place for a love one to be, they don't care. Their not any better than the one in Amory, I gave 1 star and that was 1 to much. These places are All about money and not professional care for their patients. My husband went downhill even further after being there. I promised him he would never, ever go back to another nursing home.As long as I was breathing, he is no longer with us.”
