It didn't have a 0 or that's what I would of gave this place,My best friend was in here I went to her funeral tonight God rest her soul ❤️While visiting her from day one I knew when I walked in it was not a good place it reaped of urine,the hallways were dirty,Her room was dirty and there was absolutely nothing I saw good about the place 0 nothing,The people who work there that I saw treat my friend were absolutely unhygienic they handed her medicine from there hands no gloves no cup nothing!I saw a nurse put gloves on put medicine on her sores and still have her gloves on and was rummaging through her cart for more gauze touching everything that's considered cross contamination,physical therapy was a joke they had 10 people in there at one time and the therapist was going back and forth from patient to patient not washing his hands or disinfecting any equipment he was having them use.I would never recommend this place or send a loved one here,Her mattress was uncomfortable and asked maintenance for another he said he'd have to ask housekeeping she never got another one,She had a wheel chair to set in with a thin cushion she was supposed to have her leg elevated but there was no footstool the chair I sat in which was small had stains on the seat and my feet stuck to the floor,Go elsewhere for service cause poor care here is all your gonna get,Highly dissatisfied and you deserve the award of 0 rating 🙌🙌
