I don't like how they treat the elderly, only good thing they got is 1 cook who actually knows what the clients like. Relieved plenty of complaints from family members that they will go through your belongings when you leave and throw out items without asking you. Not only that, they won't allow you to give money to family, they control everything and are not the smartest.
