Please do NOT trust any of the individuals of So. 'Care' New Beacon to come near your Loved Ones. Our precious Mother heinously suffered under their unspeakable unkindness and wrongdoing. Our family, during the worst time of loss and heartache in our lives, were put through pure hell on Earth by these individuals who are nothing more than liars, trained to 'sell you on signing up' - filthy, indecent, glorified 'hospice care'. NOT recommended.
