Resident & family reviews
I am appalled at the neglect of the patients. Medication is never given as prescribed by the doctor, and patients constantly have to remind the nurses that it is due, Day old sack lunches are more appealing than what is served. Water is being conserved because baths/showers are not given on a regular basis, instead techs are walking up and down the hall ways spraying air freshener to conceal the stench.
