whatever you do, I wouldn’t send my worst enemy here. Absolutely disgusting. Horrible care. The food is disgusting! They could honestly care less about the people here. It’s like covid gave them the opportunity to slack off and now they stay at the standards they were at during covid. It doesn’t look like anyone has mopped the floor in over a year!

This place is a joke. The worst care you can put your loved ones in. They try to give patients the wrong medicine tell the patient they are out of clean wash cloths an like to give diabetics sweets with there meals. I wouldn't place my dog in this place. The patients can't even call a loved one to talk an they keep most of the patients so drugged up they drool all over themselves
