I will not recommend this place at all to any one. My mother fell in the bathroom and had a stroke and no one was there to help. My father had a litter of fluids in his lungs and they did not even know. I was visiting this place every single day and if I had a choice I would NEVER, EVER EVER had them over there. If I had not visited my mom there the day of her stroke, no body would have paid attention to it. Starting from their director (Varsenik) down to all their staff. They do not monitor the food and the intake is the same for all of the residents.
