Moved my mom out of there two months ago. Left her in her urine soaked bed for over two weeks and told us nothing (we could smell it from the hallway and they could never “figure it out” but I figured it out as soon as I touched her bed). Disgusting to leave a human being like that. Never gave us her meds to take to the new place which I’m not sure is even legal. Never tested her for diabetes though we asked for over a month. New place tested her and got her on meds with in a week. Many other issues (staff never knowing what’s going on, new nurse every month, bus ride injured my mom so bad she is terrified of going in cars now, etc). We plan on filing a report soon. Lots of neglect very sad.

Moved my mom out two months ago because they left her in her urine soaked bed for over two weeks. Didn’t tell us anything. Turns out my mom had diabetes but they never tested for it even though we asked them to for over a month. New place tested her and got her on meds the first week we were there. We plan on making a report on them now that she out of that place. Many other issues but I wanted to make this short and not so sweet.
