My mom had been there before it went well. But when mom got on her last days, things was not very good. Her mouth had not beened clened out she had not been and needed changed most times I went to see her. Her last night and day. NOONE CALLED ME. They know she was passing. But no call. Want I don't understand is why AFTER SHE PASSED. They called me to tell me she passed. When I got there they said I could say I could stay as long as I wanted. What I don't understand why I could stay as long as I wanted after she passed, but no call before. You could say because of covid? NO ... You could say they did not know NO.. They told me about how long she had been in the death zone. So WHY. Had I known I would had took her home. She had no reason to die alone. 🤧🤧😟😢 God help them.

I give it a 1 star because my sister does have a place to stay in out of the weather. And she has gotten along with most of the residents there. But MOST of all....The sweets, snacks, soda, and drinks are just out there for any resident at any given time, and unlimited!!! Even if they are diabetic or high cholesterol or blood pressure, they can still have all they want anytime they want it!!!
