It's a shame they do not spend as much money on the interior that they do on the landscaping. The Staff is very kind. The urine smell is so strong. Objects in the hallway are fall hazard. Faucets in the bathrooms , do not work properly. Call lights and tray tables are not within reach of bedroom patients.
