If you'd like your elderly family to witness verbal abuse by the people in charge, this is the place! Let them have a live view at degrading employees, lack of healthy food (they like to feed chips and cookies), constant short staffing issues and blame games! They can also watch the revolving door of staff as well! How about a coordinator with no degree?
