Velvet Whispers
This facility does not provide proper care for residents. I personally witnessed basic hygiene being neglected, such as teeth not being brushed and clothes not being kept clean. Staff often spoke to residents in a disrespectful way, sometimes yelling instead of showing patience and compassion. Management was made aware but did nothing to address these issues. Families deserve to know that residents here are not treated with the dignity and respect they deserve.
Kelly Busch
