This is an awful place to work. No support from management and the residents are not all treated the same. If a client has a family that donates more money, they get prioritized over other residents. The Adult Residential Program is a complete disaster and they keep restructuring the program. The management is backstabbing. Do not leave your loved ones in this place. FYI- if you remove this review again, it will be reposted. :)
