They issued an bill for over $12000 after six months without my knowledge I was being charged anything. I had my wound vac removed and had been completely healed for 4 months trying to get housing. There was no social worker available even when one was hired. She then quit her job and there was no replacement for 3 months. In essence I was trapped and being charged $300 per day without my knowledge?

I currently stay here now, and everything they say in description of this place is FALSE! They are not compassionate. Only a handful of them actually do their job. Workers like to disappear, gossip, and sit on their butts all day. If someone was to pass out or die they wouldn't find out til the next day. They don't check on you. Would let go without breakfasts, lunch, and/or dinner. Bottomline, the many of the cna staff either don't know how to be a cna or don't want to do cna. Like, why are you here? Where is state when you need them? This place will kill your love ones with abandonment and neglect, literally. 3 people died in same night and same floor, and all they going to tell you is natural causes or some other lie.
