Man I can write a book about this place and I was only there for about a hour this is a place you take some one you never want to see again. After I signed in the lady asked another worker to show me to my dads room soon as she opened the door and I walked In the rooming area all I can smell was the strongest odor of urine it was terrible most of them wore mask to deal with smell. As we got inside she started talking to another worker and then asked if we knew where to go and she clearly was told to take us so we had to go back out and find out room, There was a patient hanging off the bed in soiled bed pads some roaming freely threw halls no supervision there wasn’t a nurse inside not even at nurse station. Same lady who was suppose to show us my dads room walked past our room saying hello and then whole time up until right before we left she sat at end of hall on her phone I hate that I even have to do this but this place is sad and there’s a lot of things that needs to be addressed but here is a picture of what I seen. I will be in touch with the state about this place it’s inhuman and unsanitary.

The facility provides a high quality of care I would give this community the highest ratings. There are some people in the world who go to work, do their jobs and go home. Others take those jobs to whole new level entirely. We thank you for the care that was so beautifully provided for my mother in law, Words can hardly express, They are taking very good care of their patient and their needs. The staff is great, they are very attentive, and helpful. This is a community I would recommend.
