This place is a joke. We were told they would make sure that my mother would be having physical or occupational therapy twice a day. My father and sister have to go in and get her out of the bed, shower her and take her to the bathroom. Physical therapy has definitely not been commanding with her to help her get her strength back. They don’t get her up if she is the least resistant. Do not bring your family members here.

My uncle was just placed in here and I went to visit. Beautiful place outside and nice inside, it has a little smell but it is a nursing home. I was wondering if the nursing homes stoped giving the patients containers of water ? Because there was none the last week in my uncle's room , we had to ask for him to have a cup of water. If these people don't drink enough, that not good. But everyone seem nice, so you go and check it out your self.
