I recently visited this facility, and to say I was disappointed is an understatement. The physical state of the building is deeply concerning—the floors are broken and uneven, and the entire place feels completely rundown and neglected. The environment feels incredibly depressing rather than caring or safe. After seeing these conditions firsthand, I would absolutely never trust this facility with the care of anyone I love. Families looking for a safe, clean, and dignified environment for their relatives should look elsewhere.
