Resident & family reviews
Experience both as an employee and as daughter of a client. Where to begin? As the only facility near my home at the time, it was necessary for me to place my father in this center and I did so with much guilt and dread. While I knew the professional nursing staff to be caring and qualified, there were never enough of us (e.g. 1 RN per 60 residents, graveyard shift; extra clerical and non-nursing duties were assigned to that shift, so that even during the quietest time, nursing duties could not be completed (by me, anyhow). My guilt made me resign. Non-professional nursing staff were poorly paid, overworked, under-supervised, and irresponsible. Many were in- sourced from countries of the former Eastern block; some either didn't understand English or pretended not to. Incredible!
