“Carolyn Shepard Bohnshack, Physical Therapist 10/12/17, @ 1:00 pm. I was greeted by a heavy set woman asking for my paperwork. She then directed my back to the front of the hospital. When I first got there I had to wonder if I was in the right place because none of the 12 staff members spoke to or acknowledged me. I waited 30 minutes then finally got service from Carol. She jargoned for 20 minu…”

★Joshua Russ · 2020-12-30 · via Google
“Staff attitude is bad. Staff say I refuse showers but they do not ask if I want them. Management believes the staff they did not even ask me my opinion because the staff say but I'm lying and that I caused tension between the shifts. The administrator does not even attempt to know her residents she stays in her office. That's why I contacted state because I'm sick a being called a liar.”
