Resident & family reviews
My mother in law was in this nursing home approx 2 years. I had to make a complaint to keep one of the nurses from her due to my mother in law being afraid of her. When she was on her deathbed, my husband and I went into to see her. Her $2000.00 hearing aide was "lost", and she was in bed dying, food was stuck to the roof of her mouth. I put a wet cloth to her lips and she began sucking in thirst. There was no hospice there...they just left her to die. I would never leave a loved one here..without checking up on them.
