01/06/2014 An Interested Visitor Writes: Everything at this home is geared for men. Even though they accept women, they cater for men. Activities are geared for men. The activities department needs to be more creative. Lots of governmental bureaucracy. Very Technolologically deficient. Buildings are so old that they did not think about adding wiring for telephone for each resident. They have to depend on using a phone at nurses station or purchase a cell phone (which could get lost plus seniors don't understand them). Not impressed. I would give the facility a 67.49%. They could do better. Many staff don't care because they are union and the union will protect their butts. But there are few who will jump hoops.
