    Review

    The review paints a stark and urgent picture of a facility that the author believes is failing its residents on basic, fundamental levels. The writer's most emphatic conclusion is that this place should be shut down, a verdict born from a cascade of concerns about neglect, mismanagement, and a troubling prioritization of money over people. The tone is indignant and sorrowful, signaling not just disappointment but a firm stance that what's happening there is unacceptable and dangerous for those who rely on the staff for their care.

    A central grievance centers on medication administration. The reviewer asserts that clients are not receiving their medications as they are supposed to, implying lapses in timing, dosages, or even the dispensing of essential prescriptions. This problem is framed as more than a simple administrative hiccup; it is presented as a direct threat to residents' health and safety. The implied consequences - diminished effectiveness of treatment, potential adverse reactions, and a general erosion of trust in the ability of the facility to manage medical needs - are underscored as reasons for alarm and condemnation.

    hygiene is described as another critical area of neglect. The reviewer notes that "no one showers people," which suggests a pervasive neglect of basic personal care and cleanliness. Such neglect has obvious implications for dignity, comfort, and health, and it paints a picture of a living environment that is cold, uncaring, and poorly supervised. The absence of regular hygiene routines is portrayed as a systemic issue rather than a series of isolated incidents, reinforcing the sense that residents' well-being is not being safeguarded.

    Alongside concerns about care practices, the reviewer singles out the owner as a principal source of distress. The owner is depicted as indifferent to residents' needs and more preoccupied with collecting money. This portrayal casts the management as financially driven rather than resident-centered, suggesting that financial considerations overshadow the welfare and safety of those who live there. The implication is that money is prioritized over care, a claim that intensifies the call for accountability and intervention.

    Throughout the account, the emotional resonance is strong. The reviewer describes the situation as sad and disgusting, words that convey not only disappointment but a visceral sense of revulsion. The emotional weight of these statements suggests that the experience for residents and their families is deeply troubling, marked by a perception of neglect, indignity, and an overall erosion of trust in the facility's ability to provide humane and competent care.

    Taken together, the review reads as a compelling indictment of the facility's operations. The author's insistence that the place should be shut down reflects a belief that the risks to residents are intolerable and that remediation would require fundamental changes that the current structure cannot or will not provide. The narrative underscores a demand for accountability, improved oversight, and decisive action to protect vulnerable residents from ongoing harm.

    In its most pointed form, this critique serves as a warning about what can happen when care standards are not upheld, when basic needs are neglected, and when leadership is perceived to be more concerned with finances than with the people in their care. The reviewer's account highlights the urgent need for better safeguards, transparent reporting, and substantive improvements to ensure that residents receive the medications they need, maintain basic hygiene, and live in an environment where dignity and safety are non-negotiable priorities.
