“I'm a veteran and I submitted my information with them because I wanted to volunteer. They told me I would receive an email for the next steps. It's now over 3 weeks and still no email. If they treat me like this, I wonder how they treat their patients.”

“This facility saved my life. I lived in my van for 2 1/2 years. I came here and was warmly welcomed by residents and staff alike. The living quarters and grounds are spotless. The food is fantastic and so are the volunteers. It is very, very quiet and peaceful. Everything is taken care of by conscientious folks who truly care about you. Most people here are happy and fun loving. The facility is lo…”

“Both my parents are in this facility and they are not being taken care of correctly! My mother is always needing to be changed. She has had 3 utis in the last 5 months. She is not bathed correctly. My father complains to the aids and they get angry with him. They complain about the food always being served to them cold and not very pleasing.”
