  I was on my back for three months under there care, they were very mean to me toward the end of my stay there. I couldn't sleep at night because of all the yelling and screaming going on. We didn't get what we ordered on the menu many times, because the kitchen staff and the day nurses wouldn't follow our medically chose choices. Very abusive towards me, wouldn't allow me to take a shower for three weeks. Kicked me out the door to Rescue mission. I don't recommend this place to anyone, it was like an insane asylum!
