My mother in law has been at this location for 4 years. Prior to the current owners, she received great care. There was an activity director who kept the memory care residents involved, playing games and using cognitive skills. Now, there is no activity director. I was there today and the place stinks of urine. That NEVER was the case prior to the new owners. It was always impeccably clean. The staff sits around playing on their phones. She has fallen from her bed 4 times in a month. Really? After the second time they should have been all over that For over 7k per month, I would expect better care for her.
