This place is a death sentence for the elderly. My father was there for a while and in that time he developed bed sores 3 different infections. Had food in his mouth growing mold. His clothes was given to other residents, his restroom was disgusting and I have the pictures also. All you worried about was his money and in all you lied every time we would call and check up on my dad. My dad was severely dehydrated when he went to the hospital. He had kidney damage so bad that nothing could be done.
