Not Good

Facility over medicated my mom with 3 different anxiety medication that keep her unresponsive and feed her puree food and water until she inhale it into her lungs.

Before sending my mom to this home she was in another Facility and had none of these problems. Yes she did have anxiety and was already taken medication for that b

The meals were not balanced, which explains why we were asked NOT to visit during meal t

Villa Christa review

The staff members are not capable of dealing with non-ambulatory residents. They are rotating staff every 6 months which is not ideal - most seemed to be on a tourist visa. English as second language makes communication difficult.
