They will pay their fines and move along. They are plain and simply a bunch of garbage,they know when the inspectors show up,their employees are threatened not to speak,it's all about how to maximize federal reimbursement claims. Their patient care leaves a ton to be wanted. We got smart and moved our family member out after two months,and never regretted it. What a change.
