The worst place ever, neglected my mom all day and didn't evaluate her or did any physical therapy at all for her. Medical negligence is illegal, dock that down because this is unacceptable and unprofessional. UPDATE: Withholding my mom's medications that are prescribed to HER NAME and will not give them to her. That is also illegal!

As I can in to see my dad, he was the happiest patient in the facility. The CNA Swana Hafok was with my dad and he wanted me to leave this review because she went above and beyond and helped my dad and you should have more CNA’s like her. !!
