First impressions mean so much sometimes. I walked into this place for the first time yesterday to visit my family member who was recently admitted. The first thing I see as I open the door was a fairly clean and inviting entry way. Then the stench of urine & feces hit me followed by the cries of the residents who were positioned in their wheelchairs around the wall by the front desk.
