Would be a Great place if they had more Staff . But they try there hardest to care for the Elderly.
If I could give no stars, I would! The way my family member has been treated is deplorable. Disgusting behavior of staff towards the residents...needs better standards and harsher penalties for such negligence on staff and owner's behalf.
