Unfortunately I have to rate them something so this can be seen. I am disgusted and disturbed by how our veterans are truly treated. My father in law a former Marine who served in Vietnam can not get into this nursing home. He has no legs and is dying from cancer. He will not last 6 months. They are barring him from something that happens over 16 years ago and he was falsely accused. He sacrificed himself for this country and something that is a benefit for him he cannot use. He can't even get the chance to dye with dignity surrounded by his family because they will not let him reside there. We have been trying to find him a place since September. The closest I can get him is an hour away. I cannot believe that this is what a Marine deserves. He deserves a second chance at life and now he gets none. He is going to be on hospice and that did not even help them change their mind. Not like they are not going to get paid. But a man that swore to defend us gets to die far from family because they are rude and heartless. They disgust me !

Veteran passed away after two weeks here. Never did get a doctor assigned. Saw the Chaplain though. Got a prescription for use off label and ended up with the on label diagnosis that didn't start until the first dose.
