Westminster Terrace Reviews

Susan
I have lived at WT for almost 2 years. I have been retaliated on by the ED and I am under 3 doctors care because of it. Leslie Quainitar the COO doesn't care. There is no accountability here from the COO, Supervisor Paul Markovitsh, ED Carmen Galacia. Two belongings of mine stolen from housekeeping and had items on Inventory Sheet and Markovitsh said that he will not cover it and that is final. This is a legal a document. Subpoenas are going out. Welcome to Orange County Leslie.
