Id recommend a social background check on one of your people. It's too late now as they deleted most of their FB but I personally wouldn't allow someone who talks about my elderly like the way she does especially to those who have troubles and hardships shell never have to go threw, in her local housing. She starts fb fights and especially love to fight and call kids slurs outside of her work and even on work(she came to her house and messaged me on fb causing trouble, I knew she was working cuz she had purple scrubs). I'm in the process of sending one of my uncis to a nursing home later, as she can't do anything for herself anymore and this place id look far from with this women still on staff as a CNA . I fear she will treat my family she "doesn't like"(especially with our last name) worse than anyone else. My families fears are not outta water as she, her aunts, and grandma have all been watching my house and taking in all that I do. With this I'm also afraid that when I leave my house my other elderly relatives are in danger of their uncle's who also have been known to start fight and hurt women. I digress on my reasons but id thought I'd inform you before kadoka is our only option other than Sioux falls. I know my word ain't nothing but it's better to know than not I guess.

While this place appeared to be fairly clean the rooms were not much bigger than closets and not decorated at all. This is not somewhere I would want my loved ones living
