Many times we would have to remind them and they were rude to answer. The food does not meet any nutritional needs. Hotdogs, grilled cheese and white rice is Horrible for a diabetic on dialysis. They would use towels to dry the floors and not pick up the towels. My moth…”

“For over two decades, my mother Beverly Hooks lived there and was thoroughly knowledgeable about her surroundings, and she maintained a warm relationship with the staff members, who admired her greatly. When she passed away last November on her 73rd birthday, the staff members were deeply saddened, just as we were, and both staff and patients paid their respects at her funeral.”
