Please do not let your loved one go here. Worst mistake you will ever make. Starting from the administrator which he has no business in that position to the director of nursing and again, she is just laughable, and keep going on down to the kitchen staff. They treat the residents like trash and the family members even worse. When my family member need someone during the night now one could even be found. The CNA's and nurses would actually hide so they didn't have to work and help the residents. I'm so glad my family member has gotten out of there. They withheld his medication and left him laying in his own feces because he is not mobile. It's horrible.What do you like most about living here?
Answer: His roommate was always helpful.
