Don't believe the hype!<br>Nowhere near no four stars!!<br>Most not worth two dead flies(oh you know who you are)<br>Could never get food order correct. Some staff had very nasty attitudes. When when I did exit they stole my pain medicine and told me that I was out. I'm out of pain medicine but y'all just found out I'm leaving.<br><br>Anywhere but here

I could say a lot but I’ll save it.<br><br>I’ll just take this moment to mention that the CNA/Tech CRYSTAL is rude, and apathetic. Several times my family watched her sit as lights were going off. She is not fit for medical care.
