I did a Walmart delivery here and this place is very depressing and ugly. The smell was awful. There were old people laying around the hallways and an old man undressing himself in the bathroom with the door wide open. There was an old lady crying and moaning in the hallway and nobody was tending to her. This place needs to be reported and shut down.

My sister has been ay Mtn Villa for 2 years. She has received excellent care from the team. Hey blood sugar is well controlled and she is content being there. I would recommend it if you have a loved one needing long term care.

I am tired of this hospital only for the fact that about 5 months ago some insane old man was running down the street and the nurses could barely restrain him not to mention i hate when random old people stop to talk to me when i already have stuff to do and i also feel the fact that almost everyday i see ambulances drive in and out of that place i feel the nurses arent even doing a good job...so much for even being a nurse. I recommend theses "nurses" go back to medical school before they have the nerve to even think they can take care of anyone older than 70
