Resident & family reviews
This is the most depressing nursing. The place smells moldy the second you walk in the door. The front door staff are friendly, but that's about where it ends. Mark on first floor nursing hates his jobs and treat family of patients terribly. He is the most unfriendly person in the whole building. There is not enough staff at night. My relative was perfectly capable of using a bathroom with assistance, call the help button and was told to go in her Depends because they did not have time to get to her. What a way to build someone's self respect. When she had a commode it was not cleaned and our family actually had to clean it when we came in. Check your pharmacy bill carefully. They put her on sedative medication without notifying the family AND check your monthly room and board bill. They billed us for items we did not use and when I questioned them they said they did not know what that item was and to ask nursing. I asked nursing and they were not sure and sent me right back to billing
