IF YOU LOVE YOUR FAMILY MEMBER DO NOT TAKE THEM HERE. YES THATS TUBE FEED OPEN IN THE BATHROOM

Do not send loved one here . You will regret for rest of your life

Do not send your loved one here. They will leave your parents laying in vomit. Poop in diaper with catheter and he kept getting utis. I physically pushed my father to the nurses station to show them he was profusely sweating and cold to the touch. She promised to get labs and next day I'm getting a call they found him unresponsive and I had to have him put on life support. I have pictures of him laying in puke when we got there to visit. Poop in his depends and he had a catheter and he was keeping uti. His cup of open tube feed was sitting in the bathroom. I have pictures of it all and my father completely lost his hip to ecoli right before he passed because they failed to make sure he was clear of the ecoli. Which was the only reason he was there for 10 days to get the rest of his antibiotics. Then while you are grieving your father in a bad way they will call you demanding for rest of the payment when they couldn't even correctly care for my dad. I have pictures and I will post on every platform I find. Every news that will look.

Before I leave I have to tell everyone that before I got here I hadn't walked in 8 weeks but after I was here for 4 days I was able to to get up with help. I've been here since 12/4/25 and I'm leaving on the 19th and I'm walking, standing and dressing myself!!! The physical therapist's here are the best and the nurses and CNA are so nice and respectful actually everybody that works here are exceptional. I want to thank you guys for helping me you will never know how grateful I am.
