Cheryl Rion
If you want your parent to live in an absolutely beautiful place with their own apartment, and be totally neglected, then this is the place. The doctors at Carbondale Hospital called my Mother's condition nothing but neglect. Also the doctors will not testify to this in court, because they would lose the money from them. So the vicious cycle of neglect goes on. This is my second review but it gets taken off...but I will keep putting it back. DO NOT PUT YOUR PARENT HERE, YOU WILL CRY FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.
