If I could give this place a BIG FAT 0 zero of stars I would happily. I had to call the state social services as they lied about their actions, manipulate the truth and very non-apologetic for ALL the wrongs the director and the staff have made.
At the time my daughter, less than two years old but more than one, had on a soil diaper for more than 7 hours. She developed a very very bad diaper rash after this incident occurred. Our pediatrician had to write a prescription for a special cream as Over-The/Counter pharmacy products did not work. This was the ONLY diaper rash she EVER had or experienced in her lifetime. When my husband & I questioned the staff on how a baby in their care NOT have their diaper changed or checked in over 6 hours is mind boggling to us. The Asst helper, now director Pearl, deliberately lied to me by stating my daughter's diaper was changed & they used another child diaper similar to mine. Her diaper was heavy soiled because the first shift staffer fell to change between the shift change. She almost had me believing all the LIES LITERALLY SPITTING OUT HER MOUTH. It was "they used another child diaper similar to mine" line which pull the Momma Bear out of me.
Why would you need to use another child's diaper when my child has her own??!!! Now, I was not born yesterday nor last night; I have a dual undergraduate degree, a masters degree, several series licenses & graduated from business school with my MBA. One item we learned, the brand Pampers has an serial code unique to each box which in turn are on each diaper. I ran home to get the box only to find out, what I knew to be true all along; the soil diaper my daughter had been wearing for over 7 hours matched the Pampers sequence code.
When Pearl realized she was caught in her own web of lies, she tried to back petal and sprinkle me with more deception and falsehood. She never apologize. Even when the true was reveal.
The Director/Owner MARIANNE WAS and IS the WORSE BUSINESS WOMAN EVER. It took her 4 WHOLE DAYS before she returned my phone calls or emails and to date she never apologize for her staff neglect or actions Nor did she show concern of my daughter's painful diaper rash cause by her staff. And I QUOTE her exact WORDS to me "Well I was away attending to my daughter in Rhode Island and these thing happen sometime".
