My mom has bed sore that they aren't taking care of, she stinks and when I said something about it, they told me there was a bathroom sink, I could clean her up like that . And nasty.. Administration has no compassion, had me trespass, I can't go see my mama, because I addressed them.

This facility is severely understaffed and cannot maintain the care needed by the patients that are there. Call lights are on for an hour at a time, nurses not understanding instructions sent from the hospitals, care not even being offered to patients, these are just a few of the main problems at this facility. If I could choose ZERO stars I would.

Don’t send your elderly family member here if you can help it, because They let my aunt die then tried to cover it up. And blamed it on her age. I ask the God of Abraham for vengeance.

Staff will lie to you. Poor bed quality, no cameras on premises, employees are outside smoking on grounds, professionalism is lacking among staff. Do not place your loved one here.
