Not very much after what they did. My Mom was there. It's hard to know how they treated her once the Covid19 regulations restricted any family visits. She was finally transferred due to being a flight risk. The new place is much better so far as it turns out. However, my Mother In Law was there. She passed due to Coronavirus. Earlier, the staff was not even testing themselves until I called the DOH after finding this out. Unfortunately it was too late. My Mom got it too but miraculously survived it. The worst and most inexcusable thing Eastgate did was not to honor a small wish by my wife after her Mom died there. She asked the Social Worker to have the Director of Nurses call and let her know what her Mom's last few days were like, because she died alone. "Oh yes, she'll call you. She's calling you" No call. They lied, and couldn't even have the common decency to honor such a small wish that meant a great deal to the daughter of the patient that died at their facility. Absolutely despicable and unforgivable.
