Bedbugs (nests in residents beds) disgusting living quarters, overcrowded, same food every other day, ill attitudes from staff, theft, serious health risks such as overdosing people with insulin or giving residents others medication I used to live there seen and heard so much that disturbs me still I saw someone choke on a dried cheese sandwich and die to this day I still haven't seen all my clothing from there.

this place is no place for anyone to live, at one time i was living there and it was a place of torture, bedbugs, poor management, theft, and worst off no control. i know for a fact that if one of someones family members called for this place being so bad it wouldnt be a lie as if you have anything it will be stolen on your first day, the staff are overworked and the managers and owners dont listen to complaints from the very people they get paid to take care of and worst if health problems and death do happen in these places alot ive seen it first hand, please dont send your family members to this place or its affiliated building because if you do they will suffer even the meals arent worth the money used for the food and sadly no locks are on doors meaning male residents can easily get to female ones regardless of cameras if any have been put in place, trust me dont let your family members go here.

Rooms are too overcrowded. Should have more bathrooms. Try to talk to the nursing staff cause my stepmom needs medical attention for her illness. Instead got switched over to her guardian who is neither a doctor or nurse. Had to complain to get her clothes back. I pray I never have to go somewhere like Shady Lawn.
