Better Living Carehome LLC Reviews

My grandmother was placed in this home in late October 2025. During her stay, she was verbally berated, physically abused by helpers, not provided with female assistants, not given food or medicine, and the male care givers were witnessed taking another (nonverbal) female patient into a room for almost an hour. Since my grandmothers passing, we have found that several items of jewelry went missing during her stay.
