    They set my father up to run off and get placed in a mental hospital. Most of the staff I talk to was pretty rude. My father ran off and was wadding in the river with deep cuts on his legs. I would rethink ever placing someone here ever.

    Great place and staff. But why do they not wear gloves when dispensing meds, handling food, giving injections, buttering bread, feeding patient's, handling food carts, etc. Why isn't anything being done about this?

    I have not visited, but based on trying to get through to someone is a problem 3 out of 5 times. You call the main number and the phone rings once and instantly hangs up. After being transferred sometimes no one answers the phone. Once I tried 2 days in a row calling about 8 times within those 2 days and couldn't get through. However, I have to say when I do get someone on the phone, they are very friendly and helpful.
