Resident & family reviews
My mother was placed here after having knee surgery. She is also diabetic. She has been there only 3 days and twice has been neglected by the night staff. First time she called constantly and when they finally answered she had a fever. The second time she called and complained of blurry vision and just not feeling well, they did nothing and in the morning a family member called to just say good morning and check on her and her speech was very slurred, and her sugar was at 200........She had to go to be taken to the hospital for treatment and tests.
