I just have one question? Why do they only answer the good reviews and not the concerns of the patients
Lorrie Moody
This place had a great reputation once upon a time. It is filthy, the sheets have holes, supplies are scarce and the staff are paraprofessionals without professionalism or bedside manner. They laugh and talk loudly outside the rooms in the sitting area as if they're guest. It is the worse display of health provision I've ever seen.! I'm afraid to leave my mothers side ..
