Can't get them to get a Dr to look at mother they have sent a nurse but no Dr has actually stepped into her room. She's waited as long as an hour to go the bathroom. Most not all of the nursing staff and CNAs are rude and belittling.

My brother David Tucker was placed here at the age of 57 in December 2023, Here I sit ,2 months later as my brother passed away. My family would call daily, only to be told ,we can't give u any updates. He was put on so many medications, as that is what took his life, it's heartbreaking to say the least , do not put your family members here. Do your own research on The LARA site and see for yourself the reports made against this facility,it's just awful and so sad, that you expect your loved ones to be taken care of ,from people like these ones .

After months of being placed here, I finally got to visit my family member. Staff allowed us to be in a pretty nice visiting room all by ourselves. They were friendly and spent time on us. They allowed for me to dine with family. The food wasn't bad. Actually the blueberry buckle was some of the best I have had in a long time. The only reason why I didn't give 5 stars is that I can call often but rarely can get ahold of my family. Other facilities seemed to connect me more often. I suppose some of it could be a lack of staffing and maybe being a little behind with tech. Overall though they seem to make the best of what they have.

I have a relative staying there full time, and when she hits the call button it takes the staff 15-20 minutes, maybe longer to answer it and actually help her. She is in bad condition and anything could happen in that time. I am very upset with the services there
