Epic Assistance Care Home IV Reviews

Billy Hunt
Do not go to this place. My elderly mother was left in a small room for 4 months without a proper bed, wheelchair, and a shower. She was also malnourished being fed a piece of cheese and a slice of bread for breakfast and take out pizza for dinner. Dodgy people who just collect insurance money
