This place is horrible. The cna are rude and have an attitude as if its a hassle to do thier job. An absolute embarrasement. Its takes hours to get my mom changed. This is the 4th nursing home my mom has been in and its the worse ive ever seen. My advise to this nursing home and staff is to have empathy for these older sick people. How would you feel laying in waste for hours? Rooms an floors are filthy.

So, apparently the DON (DEE) got upset and fired a CNA for exposing him. Do not work for Bria of forest Edge they are a joke. I repeat don't go there. They are all one sided there and the management are all liars. The residents are not clean at all

My mother was a loyal worker there she worked at Bria of forest edge for long time until she got sick from working there staff was never notified that they had covid patients there as a result my mom got sick and she needed to go to the hospital she was told by her boss that if she left her job to go to the doctor she need not to come cause she would get fired......My mother stayed at work sick cause she didn't want to lose her job but when she got off at the end of the day she went to the hospital and she passed 2 days later.........She contracted covid from bria of forest edge in April of 2020 and she passed away.......Bria of forest edge knew that they had covid patients but never alerted staff there were 2 other people that passed away worked there the same week my mother passed........My mother was mistreated while working there......They just recently offered me 500.00 to close my case...... They really think my mother's life was worth only 500.00 dollars that's not right at all...... I was my mother only child I was all she had and she was all I had to offer me 500.00 is a spit to my face.......
