Resident & family reviews
After having had a family member in this nursing facility, we felt confident putting my father here. Little did we know that things were falling apart at the seams from a management standpoint and the quality of care was becoming substandard. Gone were the friendly, happy caregivers and in were those just there to were overloaded with lists of chores. We were called on a constant basis to come sit and watch my father due to complaints that he was restless and they had no time to spend with him. I watched as his supper tray was brought in and before I had a chance to try to feed him someone was there to take it away because they knew he wouldn't eat it anyway. We have moved on. But a warning to those with family members with any level of dementia or Alzheimer, be ready to be on call day or night to come there and babysit.
