Vicki Klein
Over medicated my wife, she had to be taken back to hospital in an ambulance. They almost killed her. This place was horrible. When she got there, bed didn’t work tv didn’t work. Left hand didn’t seem to know what the right hand was doing. Staff didn’t seem to care about any of the problems we faced. This facility has been sold and bought so many times —— not a good sign
