This place is a disgrace. No "Nursing" care occurs here. My loved one was admitted for month long rehab, lost 100 pounds in 6 months, deteriorated literally every week he was there, died Jan 6th. Proof? Literally everytime he was sent to the hospital, he improved dramatically. Only to deteriorate again upon return. Deplorable care.

Many of the Nurses were very polite when caring for my father. I called to check on him everyday just to ensure he wasn't giving them a hard time. I greatly appreciate all the staff who helped take care of my father THANK YOU! ~Mooney
