It is great to see staff that cares so much for the residents! When I was visiting, the bus driver saw a family member carrying bags and pushing their loved one.

It is great to see staff that cares so much for the residents! When I was visiting, the bus driver saw a family member carrying bags and pushing their loved one. He immediately jumped in and helped out...even when the Family member said they were used to it, he still insisted. You can see the gratitude on their face.

Please don''t come here or bring a relative here. The food is not hot and is barely warm. 95% of everything comes out of a box from the freezer. After being seated in the dining room I have waited up an hour and a half to be served my meal. I had to wait 2 days to get a remote for my TV. I asked the head maintance man to supply my room with something I needed and haven''t seen it yet. When I got here they took away one of my meds and didn''t bother to ask or tell me what they did. The place is also not clean. The bathroom in our room needs to be cleaned. I asked for toilet paper one day and they didn''t bother to bring any. I had to go to an un occupied room to get some. I had a spill in my room 4 or 5 days ago and have they bothered to clean it up? No. Most showers In the rooms don''t work. We have to use a shower room down the hall. Oh yeah, shower days are assigned and you only get 2 showers a week. Yuck. I blame everything on the corporation and local management and the almighty dollar. They squeeze the budget as tight as it can be to maximize their own profits. They switched meds 0ne day between me and my roommate. I caught it but my poor roommate didnt. Made him very sick. I catch at least 2 med mistakes a week. I really dont feel safe. Food, it is usually barely warm much less hot.
