I went there to visit my good friend he had food all over his face and blanket ! I clean it up myself, i wanted to see when the nurses would come and check on him and clean him up , it took almost 2 hours to somebody come to check on him ! When i went to the front desk to ask them if i can get a new blanket for my friend they look at me and look the other way like i was bothering them , i got mad i wanted to yell at everyone over there !
