    The reviews for this facility are overwhelmingly negative, with many citing severe neglect, unhygienic conditions, and a lack of care. One reviewer mentioned leaving the facility after just 5 days due to its poor conditions, while another shared a tragic story of their grandmother catching COVID-19 at the facility and subsequently passing away. There are reports of residents being left in their own waste, not being fed or cleaned, and a general lack of responsiveness from the staff. Complaints about the facility's administration, maintenance, housekeeping, and food services were also common, with several reviewers noting the poor quality of meals and the facility's failure to adhere to dietary needs.

    However, there were a few positive comments, with some reviewers appreciating the care provided by the nursing staff and expressing satisfaction with their stay. One reviewer rated the nursing care highly but found other aspects of the facility, such as housekeeping and food services, to be lacking.

    Many reviewers expressed frustration with the staff's incompetence and negligence, mentioning that their loved ones suffered due to the facility's failure to provide basic care.

    Overall, the consensus among these reviews is that the facility fails to provide adequate care and attention to its residents, with many urging others to avoid placing their loved ones in this facility. Despite a few positive remarks about individual staff members or specific aspects of care, the majority of feedback highlights serious concerns about the facility's operations and the well-being of its residents.
