In the beginning this is how I felt I did update below.<br>I haven’t been there to see my brother but my husband has. He said the staff there is wonderful and taking such good care of my brother. They seem to really care rather than just being there doing a job. I have experienced other care facilities and have not been happy at all. They were very busy and too busy to take care of each individual. My brother is getting very good care by caring people. When I call to check on him everyone is so very nice. I talked to Crystal who is amazing and also Bussie (not sure how to spell her name). They are so nice and don’t have a problem with me calling them anytime. I could only hope and pray that I could be in a facility like this one if I needed it. Thank you all. You will see my brother through to the end and I’m ok with him being in your capable hands.<br><br>Well look like I spoke too soon. I still give Crystal and Bussie a 5 star but seems the night staff isn’t as on top of it. My nephew had to keep telling them to turn my brother so he wouldn’t get bed sores. One evening they dropped off his food tray and walked out without feeding him. He is unable to feed himself. His call button was on the floor and is quite often. He hadn’t had fresh water in 24 hours. One evening they over medicated him. Unfortunately I can’t be there. I’m hoping his friends who will be visiting will help.
