    Terrible experience my mum was there for 4 years. The management, head care staff have no empathy, are uncaring and have caused me so much trauma and anguish over the years it is dispicable. They have lied to authorities, have manipulated situations which is unforgiveable. I was bullied by head staff, humiliated and my mum was living in an environment that was mentally traumatic for her. Nothing was done to help her, I was ignored, I reported them yet they remain in top positions at the facility. It is a disgrace and I do not recommend this facility.
