Update !!! This is what the Don Amanda posted this flyer so the review I put months ago makes sense now she needs to get fired or her licenses removed I’ll also be pushing the issue since i know yall seen the review and did nothing ! All this stuff adds up and she’s gonna pay for the emotional damage even if i have to take this situation to court it’s so many people that have bad things to say about her just look at how many people yall loose something’s not right and it will be handled ! Yall think it’s okay and nobody gonna speak up well I bet that changes !!!<br><br>Extremely poor performance and a bad company over all the DON Amanda is very nice nasty when it comes to handling issues when she’s wrong she still makes a way to be correct . This place is beyond dirty , sharps containers stay open , always leaving 1 person to work a whole unit alone . So many bugs inside very dirty . Definitely wouldn’t recommend for workers or residents.

Do not leave your loved one at Wesley Woods without a camera in their room. My dad was abused by 4 different aides in the past 2 weeks. 1 was terminated but the other 3 are still employed with Wesley Woods. He has been moved to another facility and the state is investigating.
