If I could rate negative stars I would, majority of the nurses are useless mean girls who clearly hate their jobs. Would not check on my mom for countless hours. Grateful for the handful of nurses who did their jobs, but most of the staff treat work like a social gathering rather than their job. 👎🏻

I've had to be there a couple times now. Most of the staff is very helpful especially once you see what they deal with day in and day out. The nurses are great, the people in therapy and the ones who run the activities are amazing. The food..... Well it's edible usually
