Debra Fuentes-Morehouse

The first person I felt with was on top of things then she left and I became ill which I struggled to get answers when I called. My daughter started helping me and she did not get calls back in a timely manner.

Linda K

my experience has been very positive. If there was ever anything that I did not like or agree with I brought it to the attention of the staff who corrected things right away for me. There really isn’t much negatives. I just really like it here. It’s nearer a bus that takes me to my dialysis which is The most boring Thing I have to do.
