Killed my father, allowed him to bleed internally. And, they knew about the issue prior. As long as they can put you in a corner somewhere, they think its all good.

Food terrible, all prepackaged processed stuff and same food on menu all the time. Do not respond to residents or family needs nor complaints. Birch hallway smells like pee and poop lots.
