- 1.0- fairhiker46
When looking for assistance on several visitations there were no staff to be found, yet I saw a group in the break room.
- 1.0- lighttraveler74
The staff are constantly short (the residents need more caring staff to help take care of them especially on the weekends and at nights during the week), I wouldn't feed the food to a dog, the building should be torn down and reconstructed, the case managers lack knowledge, the activities that the residents participate repeat themselves, it is just an overall negative place.
- 4.0- justfriend13
While the staff was at times short handed , the full time staff we always found to be caring and compassionate from the kitchen, laundry, nursing staff to the administration.
- 1.0- justwalker41
It seems like employees hate their job.
- 5.0- southernmember48
This is a tough line of work to be and please everyone, but they did a great job in all facets with my mother--wonderful nurses, great food and meal program, and administrative staff was always jumping in to help at lunch, with activities,etc.
