The worst possible nursing home The staff shows no compassion nor empathy, whenever you can find someone. The staff was always hesitant if asked their name , like if they didn’t want anyone to know who they are The rooms are dark and dingy The food unappetizing My father was admitted there and they quickly placed him in a diaper taking away his dignity and leaving him soiled for hours. Many times we would arrive and he would be wet upto his mid back. It would take 45 minutes to one hour to have someone to help His …

My father was in Buena Vida Center, and that's where he fell and hurt his hip.

He wasn't eating through his mouth. He was pretty miserable then, but the people were very …

Some of the staff are very unprofessional, and show extremely low job performance. Housekeeping does poor job performance, and state they don't get paid enough to do great job performance. At night, a resident cried out in pain for help, and the staff ignored her, or tell her …

If I could give zero stars I absolutely would. My father has stage 4 cancer and was there for a few weeks after coming out of the hospital. We were told he would be cared for and they would help to rehabilitate him to gain some of his strength back as he basically had none left. Instead he was kept in his room all day and we were not allowed to speak to him when we called. We were always told he was in his room sleeping. My aunt went there after nurses refused to let us speak to him and told us that the place was a…
