Do not send your loved ones to this facility. They left my father on the toilet for over an hour several times. One instance a guest visiting their husband heard his screams and came and helped him. He developed a uti so severe he had to be placed back in the hospital all the while ignoring the blood in his urine. This facility is government funded abuse and should be investigated and shut down. One instance a nurse told him when he asked for assistance to go to the restroom, "I'm not throwing my back out so you can go to the bathroom".
