“This place is beyond disgusting. My family member was discharged into skilled care at this facility while I was out of town on work. They had a “med error” and withheld his pain medication for 48 hours, with zero effort to make him comfortable while his 80 year old body withdrew from opioids. I made it in to visit him 5 days after his admission . During that time , despite several incidents where …”

“2 family members went into the home with good outlooks and expected recoveries. Both came out with sepsis, and died in the hospital. I can tell many of the nurses here try their best, and care deeply. But there is a systematic failure here and it comes from the top. I have lost two loved ones to this place. Please do not send yours here.”

“One of the worst I have been in. They don't give you your medication when prescribed if you are to have yours 4 times a day you only get 2 times a day hum wonder who gets the rest? I heard an elderly woman cry and moan every night I had to push my button to get her help. I wouldn't send my dog there!”
