They are thieves! Everything my mom took over for him would get stolen. She had his name on all of his belongings, clothes, toiletries, shoes, bed linens, towels, and ALL of it got stolen several times. He would be wearing other people's clothing, shoes, glasses, and when my mom asked about it, no one knew a thing! They stole his nice blankets, his ball caps! Disgusting. He had to go to the hospital a few times and each time the doctors said his medicine wasn't given to him correctly. They would make zombie like then send him to the hospital. When it came to eating, no one would help him. He is blind and almost deaf and only a few teeth. My mom would go visit during lunch or dinner and he would have food everywhere because he couldn't cut it or see it. His dentures went missing also and no one knew anything. That's an awful place. If we could afford it, we'd hire a lawyer. The monthly payment is over [removed] a month.

I would not recomnend this facility to anyone’s family member. They have frequent staff changes and the cleanliness of the facility is unacceptable. They have very few activities offered on weekends. Items of patients are frequently missing as well. Contract agreements are also not honored. You must visit frequently at random times if you have a family member at this facility.
