Nice place. Taking care of my brother
Judy Gerst
This center is non communicating . A patient can turn light on for help and no one comes for hours and hours .I was there with my mom and was helping her go to bathroom and I asked for help and they pointed me to a closet that said employees only and said everything you need is in there , but I was having a hard time holding her up not cleaning .they do not communicate about Dr appts and when they go to doctors they loose paperwork sent back .this place should be free ,the only positive thing that can be said it does look clean , so the janitors do a good job
