This place has a horrible management team. Treat their residents like inmates. The DON was very unprofessional, gave me a walk through after my interview she done nothing but walk me around talking down on her whole nursing staff. Introduced me to a few residents that was sitting in the dinning area. I seen bed bugs crawling on them. I never ever in my life seen nothing like it. I feel so sad for the residents. No one deserves to live like that no matter what type of facility it is.

My Mother was in there for a short time they had mice bed bugs the laundry was done horrible no bed pads bath towels were the size for newborn babies to use and even then you would've not used them. No activities for the residents do not outings some residents didn't have shoes to put on their feet. The administrator was very unprofessional didn't care about the residents and neither did the owners. Was in meeting with son-in-law and was informed this a Medicaid run facility what do you expect and I was deeply offended about that remark. In other words If you don't have money and you're receiving Medicaid Medicare that's the type care you deserve. My Mother hadn't smoked cigarettes for 5 years was supposed to be oxygen 24/7 ended smoking. What do you think of Myer's Nursing Home?
