Resident & family reviews
My mother was admitted to this facility. Despite our family frequently checking on her, and asking SPECIFICALLY if she was receiving medications, they did not give her a medicine she had been on for 30+ years. The withdrawal effects of this caused seizures which killed her (in addition to making her last month there a terrible time.) When the seizures started, they did nothing to treat or comfort my mother, and in fact fought us when we found out (by CHANCE) and took her to the hospital. When the EMT's arrived they couldn't even provide information about when they had started / her condition during the day because the nurses didn't document it! They later went back and modified her records to pass their audits with Medicare. They also ignored our complaints about their nursing staff and their rude behavior, and failure to do basic things like change my mothers diaper. (she wasn't incontinent - they put her in diapers because when she would ask for help to get out of bed they would say they were too busy, and tell her to go in her diaper.) The nursing staff retaliated and days after our complaint against them my mother died. Other people in this facility have also died from their inaction / terrible care. DO NOT SEND YOUR LOVED ONES HERE.
