"Very nice place. Very clean nurses are very good. Food is very yummy. Love going there to visit my husband. So happy he is being well taken care of."
— Rose Zambonato (via Care Changes)"The quality of the food has gone down; it seems corners are being cut to save money on food and activities. ... Hubby’s clothes disappear sometimes; jeans, socks, and brand-new t-shirts have vanished."
