There are some wonderful nurses there and some not so. My sister was left to lay in urine, no one would answer the bell. She almost died there. I got her to the hospital where she spent a week in the IC. It was once a wonderful place but not now.

Horrible place the elderly sit in their urine and feces for extended periods of time have to remind them of what their job entails does not care for the elderly there at all the establishment forgets that their patients are human and deserve to be cared for "no matter what their financial status may be"
