Beware of ownership here. Everything might seem all smiles and wonderful positive assurance that your loved ones are ok. The staff seemed nice for the most part. They seem scared of the owner which I found alarming. I also know the Owner practices shady business tactics Burns contractors the house is riddled with holes in the wall that are covered up by newspaper. Painted over with paint. There's rat droppings. There's all sorts of electrical issues. The house was actually driven into by one of the staff. It was patched. I just don't think that this is a good idea for anyone's loved ones to go here. The staff might be really nice, but the condition of the property is just as important and it's bad.What do you like most about living here?
