“Unfortunately, I have nothing positive to say about this place but go at your own discretion and watch your family member like a hawk. Dirty rooms, dirty diapers and they lost my family members urine test sample when she had a uti they had to re do it. Plus many other errors.”

“Poor care. My father fell out of bed MULTIPLE times because they wouldn't use the side rails for safety. The side rails weren't attached to the bed. We implored them to use them to keep him safe. I feel the patients don't get great care and if they don't have family members advocating for their care; they are left to fend for themselves.”
