If I could give The Northeast Center negative star...

If I could give The Northeast Center negative stars I would. My mother in law was there for close to a year, and it was a horrible experience. She was terribly neglected and every time we went to visit she would be in her room, sitting in her own excrement. The whole place smelled like urine. The "food" was microwaved slop. They gave up on her physical therapy a month after she got there, as well as speech therapy. We basically paid $1,300/day for her to be treated like a potted plant - at best. If we hadn't been there to see her as often as we had, there's no telling what would've happened to her. I can't imagine what it's like for the poor people in there who don't have family or friends in there acting as their advocate. They are understaffed, and the staff that they do have are overwhelmed and/or don't know what they're doing. This place legitimately needs to be shut down.
