HORRIBLE PLACE TO BRING YOUR LOVED ONE. MY POOR LOVED ONE WAS IN AGONY AFTER HAVING SURGERY. HE RANG BELL NUMEROUS TIMES FOR PAIN MEDS OVER THE COURSE OF SEVERAL DAYS ONLY TO HAVE TO WAIT SOMETIMES UP TO 2 HRS TO GET ANY PAIN MEDS EACH TIME. THE STAFF IS EXTREMELY RUDE AND NASTY AS WELL TO DEAL WITH. THIS PLACE DOESNT EVEN DESERVE 1 STAR. IT SHOULD HONESTLY BE PUT OUT OF BUSINESS. PLEASE DO NOT BRING YOUR LOVED ONE TO THIS FACILITY!

Staffed members of this place treated my mother terribly!<br>- A nurse refused to get her out of bed to use the bathroom, told her “if you can’t pee in a bed pan, just pee and I’ll come back and clean you up later”<br><br>- A nurse left her room for over an hour after checking her blood sugar and it being 57. 1 hour later she called a nurse after feeling dizzy and her blood sugar was 40. Almost had to send her to the hospital.<br><br>-She was left ignored after calling a nurse to use the bathroom, ended up having an accident, then had to wait another hour for someone to come clean her up. In the middle of them cleaning her, they had an emergency and left her naked in her bed, didn’t even have the decency to cover her with a blanket!<br><br>As someone who worked as an aide and an administrator in a personal care home, I am appalled after hearing this!<br><br>Do not send your family here!
