If you have a love one that needs help i STRONGLY advise you don’t go here. My uncle was basically STARVED to death here. His room was disgusting. Sat in a pop diaper bc they wouldn’t change him. Hot in the building. Luckily they switched up his appointments & we were able to get into a hospital days before he passed. If not who knows what would happened.
My mother was committed back in April of this year. The staff is warm and caring and my mother is comfortable and well-taken care of. They ensure her safety and well-being at all times and I would highly recommend them for the care of your loved ones.
