Employees are a danger on the roadway. Routinely see their red Altima flying and cutting people off.

These ppl dont care about there patients or employees the administration only care about being compliant and making her numbers so they dont get into trouble. I've seen my patients nurses never come or never address the needs of the patient. Highly wouldn't recommend them if you have other choices.

This Place does not Need to be in business anymore! The PCA program Is a joke to them, As they Cannot Be responsible for showing up. And when you call they act like it's not their responsibility? They make us wait all day, only to not even a call. And when they actually do get someone to show up, do not get them to grocery shop, unless you enjoy taking over half the order back. What a waste of time! A BAD company to put up with

I truly enjoyed the AIDS and the nurses that were part of my Healthcare team the only problem I've had is with Administration and the office PPL. I feel that I was not valued nor would be heard when I had issues. I feel they need to truly reorganized the administration and their office personnel to treat the patients with compassion and respect.
