my families experience was terrible, they promised my dad who has dementia a forever home, started out in assisted living with care plan to move to alzheimers unit when staff felt he was ready, due to their poor care planning because my dad went to the door a couple of times they gave our family 24 hours to put him psych or find a new home, this is illegal but led to believe they could do this, we did move our dad to a much better facility in my opinion, they have blocked me and my whole friend list from their facebook page because they do not want me to tell my story, the public has a right to know, sister Barbara was ruthless and heartless as well as Kelly the admin, so heart broken for my dad but he has finally adjusted to his new forever home.
