Assistant living was wonderful. Skilled nursing areas are lacking, especially if your loved one is immobile. Bed sores are imminent from lack of timely turning and diligence. This could and will lead to critical issues if not properly cared for and in my case it wasn’t. The upper management told me what they felt I wanted to hear as no progress was made in the care for my loved one. I do not recommend.
