As a blind and disabled woman who worked her whole life in the community really believing that we had trusted resources this establishment is not only a joke but is ethically morally so wrong they not only think it is a laughing matter but they play with people's lives

Check your showlow office rude employees representing your office., numerous employee n clients have left because a unprofessional team works there don't care about the client well being and a attitude manager who thinks she's irreplaceable. I have witnesses within your company. Something must be done about Tammy and Marsha been a client since 2012 now she won't let my own family member care for me, for merely pointing out her staff member was rude to him in person..she gets a rating of .5 and if nothing is done I have a advocacy attorney, 3 on my side t.v. that will do something. I will call OSHA AND WHOEVER WILL LISTEN I'M AN AMERICAN WHO FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS STILL MY RIGHT!!!!
