Garden Valley and White Oak manor are , in my opinion
and observation guilty of Violating Medical universal protocols repeatedly . And their owner of them and several others in Mo.Uses someone elses name to register with Sec of State,and owns quite a number in this state . The Director of one of them will not
return call about abuse ,even when he is present
to see it. He will not call back ,ignores all calls,
Hires felons and criminals to work at these places.
And their staff is abusive.
Where did my message go ? about abuse?
These elderly people need help !
