They accepted my friend, said she would be a good fit. Later, I was threatened several times that they would kick her out because she needed more help than they had to give. Now she is in the hospital because they didn't check on her when I said something was wrong with her, and she wasn't aware of her surroundings. Now they are closed down by the state board of health.
Rena Turner
My mother was not happy here. She was very lonely and by her self most of the time. They told her there would be activities and church services and they would take her to appts if needed. She was only there less than 3 months and they only had bingo as activity, no church services, no exercise, the van was broke down the whole time. Calendar still shows May 2022 for activities and it is now August 2022. She was very depressed here unfortunately, so we had to move her.
