Well I can vouge for anonymous. In fact it was just 4 weeks ago. We were all told "NO SOAP, but its been ordered", and the reason being- the owner isnt paying any of his suppliers. Whats next? Residents supplies? Thats happening already!

Yes the garbage is nasty. but do not lie anonymous. I wash my hands a 100 times a day and there is always soap. The residents get showers and are provided with soap. Submit only the true facts.

If you think the outside looks bad, take a tour of the facility! I was there to visit, and not a drop of soap to wash your hands in any bathroom, even the residents! Someone needs to step in and do something, as its is critical for the residents.

this IS a New York City owner disgracing what this facility was founded for.. they have taken away everything that the Van Allens have accomplished over their dedicated years... Is the city of Little Falls with their brand new MAYOR proud of this?

Instead of someone saying it should be reported to the state why doesn't someone just report it. It's disgusting,smelly, & it attracts a wide variety of animals. Call the state--don't just say it should be done.

Absolutely, this is not the Van Allens. This is an absentee owner that probably did not pay the garbage pick up bill.
