This place takes Medicaid money and does not provide the level of care they commit to Medicaid under their contract. My mom was abused in this facility both physically and mentally. She was left in the bathroom, stranded for hours. She constantly had UTIs. She was told she had money somewhere and she owed them money when she had zero assets and only had Medicaid. She went without bathing for 3 weeks. I witnessed other patients in the facility being abused as well. One patient was self-pay and asked for things like to be taken someplace and they made a big deal about how much more money they needed from her. She was helpless. They take money and barely provide basic needs of care. Keep your loved ones far away from here.

Staff is rude and acts like they are miserable. No reason to be that rude for no reason

Why are there no pictures of the inside. Why are there no other reviews. Would you want your loved one going somewhere that seems to be "secretive"? Very concerning. May have to get a hold of a hotline to go in and check the welfare of these patients.
