On a recent visit to the building I noticed a care provider 1st name of Kim acting really unhinged and erratic. I'd strongly advise anyone to check on their loved ones if this woman is in their care giver. Yelling and quick to anger she has no place as a care provider to elderly people or anyone for that matter.

My mom 89 years old, won't be returning to Anchor care. My mom started to turn yellow on Mothers day. I told several nurses. It was ignored. Several weeks went by and my mom turned Jaundice. Shw was not eating and sleeping all the time.The staff continued to ignore my mom's care. They were supposed to do a ultra sound it never got done. The head Nurse asked me if I wanted to wait for my mom's discharge to take her to the hospital. I cant believe she would say something so stupid. My mom is at bayshore. I hope she's ok. This is not looking good for Anchor care. My mom's care went down hill after a month at Anchor Care.
