The Lamp Memory Care Center Reviews

Anonymous
I worked at the lamp, memory care center for years. And in my time working there, I have witnessed civil or occasions of physical and verbal abuse towards residence by certain staff will no longer work there also by the new administrator she is physically and verbally abusive, not only to her residence, but to her staff, she has no business being administrator. The place is falling apart. It stinks the food is awful and I’ve recently heard there was scabies there. I would never bring my mother or my father or anyone I loved to a horrible place like the lamp, memory care center.
