My mother is currently living here and at first, it sounded great and an excellent place for her. After a while, quality of care drastically decreased. I justified a lot for so long because I’ve heard so much about the turnover rate and the center not being able to keep staff, which I understand completely being in the field, assuming they were doing the best they could under bad circumstances. I’m guessing now they’re just giving anyone a job to fill spots. There’s a CNA named Sherri who walks around the center bad mouthing multiple patients, including my mother. She talks about my mother’s money and makes implications that my mother is getting with bedridden men in the facility for cigarettes. What is someone, especially who is supposed to be taking care of my mother, worrying about that at all for? Let alone to talk to other patients that way? I’ve been told this is a CNA who’s had to be re-educated twice already. It’s absolutely disgusting and incredibly unprofessional. The staff’s also lost her clothes multiple times when her laundry gets done and doesn’t even act like they feel bad about it when she’s down to barely any clothes. It’s not right at all.

The nurses my mom had were nice. Alarms were going off all the time. Man patient wondering into women’s room. Person at front desk didn’t know how to use computer to look up rooms. Parking lot had shady characters wondering into parking lot.
