"Poor Beds, Staffing, Meals, and Entertainment at Assisted Living Facility"
Firstly, the beds they provide are terrible! You can feel every spring poking you, so don't expect a good night's sleep. The staffing is really lacking, with only one person for the entire house five days a week, and two people on the other two days. The food is mediocre. You get a nice, home-cooked meal once a week, but the rest of the time it's just sandwiches. Breakfast is very basic, and there isn't any choice like you'd find elsewhere. There's really nothing to do except watch TV, and most of the time, three people decide what everyone watches, usually game shows, Little House on the Prairie, or some old Western. Your day starts around 5:30 to 6:00 am, lunch is at 11:30, and dinner at 3:30. You get your meds at breakfast, 2:00 pm, and 6:30 pm, and then it's bed time at 7:30 to 8:00 with lights out by 9:00 to 9:30 pm. If you want to be treated like an adult, this isn't the place for you.

"Avoid This Facility for Lack of Comfort and Adult Treatment"
Firstly, although beds are provided, they're incredibly uncomfortable, each spring pokes into you, eliminating any hope of a good night's sleep. Furthermore, staffing is inadequate, with only one staff member on duty for five days a week, and two for the remaining two days. Home-cooked meals are only prepared once a week, with simple sandwiches serving as the other meals. Breakfast is very basic and lacks variety you'd find elsewhere. The only activity available is watching TV, of which game shows, Little House on the Prairie, or some western show, are the primary options as only three people dictate the channel choice. Your day begins between 5:30-6:00 AM, followed by lunch at 11:30, dinner at 3:30, with medication times set at breakfast, 2:00 PM and 6:30 PM. The facility enforces a strict bedtime between 7:30-8:00 PM and lights out by 9:00-9:30 PM. So if you are seeking a place where you're treated like a grown-up, this place isn't it!
