I am a stroke victim and just got myself out of Advena after a year and my prescriptions were never sent to my pharmacy, and I call the main number and there is no answer, but it's been like that since I ve been there! They aren't very professional at all! I have to follow up and make sure the social worker sent off the paperwork needed with my release date of a month ago so I can get my check and pay my rent.

My husband was in here before they changed the name. I couldn’t wait to get him the hell out of there. This place should be shut down. I’m honestly surprised it’s still running. He was in there years ago. I moved him out of there as soon as I could.

I have a love one here and his money has disappeared. No one can give me receipts or proof of where it went and so now I have to make sure he have his needs. I don’t think it’s right and I’m very unhappy about the situation. There’s over $2000 that I can’t get receipts , showing me where his money went I think that’s very wrong and unfair for him to have money and now he doesn’t have any when he doesn’t go anywhere to spend it I’m concerned about this matter
