I'll never go back, I wouldn't let them rehab my dog. Where to begin? It's all bright and sunny in the main entrance, ask to look into empty rooms, if they steer you away any room that's a room you insist to see. Go to every section, take the complete tour. Listen to the aides and nurses talking, that'll end your tour right there. Continue to the kitchen, ask to go in, if they say it's off limits I'm willing to bet it's in really bad shape AGAIN. Bad attitudes but there were some lovely aides for sure. Doctor? Where? You have 7 seconds to state your case before they walk away, with their infamous "i'll be right back' and don't return. My experience was so bad I needed to file a police report. Do your homework, the ratings are NOT true. Give them 1 star. I saw them throw a lady, aid got fired. I babysat a dementia patient for 18 hours so they aides could stay in the break room having fights, I mean real fights. Chairs flying, the joy of being near an 'employee' playpen. There are no adults running this show trust me. My food was tampered with, I went to the director and 3 cameras were erased. Only later did i find it was the directors son that committed that crime. I will not walk away, never. Impacted 2 times, never given anything to treat it and had to manually remove feces with 17 broken bones. BRING YOUR OWN! Ask to see the basement, those are PEOPLE. They tried to hinder an ambulance, were cited for not having a door open, not giving EMTs the codes to get through the building and not show them my room, HEART. They are NOT set up for dementia or rehab, the beds do not have rails. If you're in a wheel chair forget about getting into the bathrooms, look at the corners, the rust, the ceilings. I enjoyed watching the elderly get company and staff is all over them, sweetie, darling, honey, all smiles until the family leaves. Good luck just getting a cup of water! Everyone in there needs a urine test, The things screamed in the next room were insane, it was two employees and every day for over a week they screamed for hours. Someone wasn't happy the law was broken. Oh this story is priceless and the entire world will know. It's a racket nothing more. They're going to try and hide all the nastiness but that would mean closing it down and I'm happy to help.
