Poppen Report

Trying to visit people here,you encounter the staff being very rude to you or residents. Difficult to visit people when also denied access by nurses,and residents request to see you. It's like going to a jail or prison as a visitor.

When visiting a relative I found the facility generally dirty. The doors to the rehab wing had a gap between them. Dirt, leaves and rodents could easily enter. The parking lot to the west is a mess. Walking on it is treacherous. As for the actual patient care, they were NOT giving him his meds as prescribed! He pointed out but was basically ignored for several days. The Sunday morning after the time change, he didn’t wake up in time for breakfast. They brought his tray to the room and the food was cold from sitting so long. This place should be closed down.
