If you have people you love in this place.. please move them definitely check on the daily. The people that work for this facility are terrible, not everyone but the majority. My mother is not getting proper care. I live out of state and made a few visits the last couple weeks.. and disappointed is an understatement. She sits for hours without being checked on or changed into dry clothing. They get mad at her for being old sick and upset, and ignore her for hours, misses meals ,untimely med dispensing. Then the nurses and aids want to cop an attitude when they are called out .. these people are not taking care of your loved one.. we are moving my mother you all should too.. this place needs to be closed... Update as of 6/18/2026, I went to visit my mother and she was incoherent and out of her mind, I went straito the nurses station and they said her sugar crashed she had to have insulin. Its tha after effects blablabla...but one of the cna said they found her unconscious in her room because she hadn't showed up to lunch, wich means she hadn't been checked on in hours, her blood sugar dropped to 31 and she about went into coma. They give her a shot and put her to bed is what I was told. I walked into the building hearing her yelling for help with a closed door to her room she in in her bed and cant move. She could have died ,and not one person called her husband or us children to tell us such a spell happened.. check your family they are gonna kill someone... they only have have a few full time staff members the rest are called in on a daily, they are terrible nurse and cna, I am talking the local news station and a lawyer.. these people need to be help accountable before someone dies..
