They kicked me out because Medicaid didn’t pay. I was treated like crap and was disrespected. Social worker telling my personal business in front of family members. Staff having thier pics on certain patients. Staff disappeared and are always at the front desk and not helpful with residents. The staff are always complaining and fighting amongst each other If I were you don’t go there
