Resident & family reviews
DO NOT SEND YOUR LOVED ONES HERE! The nurses and aids neglect their patients, make fun of them, mock them. My mother begged for a week straight to be sent to the hospital and they said that she did not need to. She became so sick and weak she could not feed herself and two of the aides there said to her " we are not going to feed you like a baby" so she did not eat for days. I finally threatened the night supervisor to call 911 to have her brought to the hospital. So they sent her there finally. We find out that she has congestive heart failure. If she had stayed one day longer she would have died. THIS PLACE NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN!!!
