They abuse/neglect their residents and profit off of cutting the budget to the point where resident have unproper wheelchairs, very bland, unhealthy, small portions meals, 1 nurse to 50 patient ratio, with all the PRN, narcotics and insulin pass. Only 1 aid per 20 plus residents. On the weekends usually none of my CNAs would show up. MANAGEMENT did not answer the phone and night shift aids will just walk out leaving one nurse for 40 residents for 4 plus hours sometimes. Tons of state violations swept under the rug and residents dying due to uneducated or lazy nurses.
