The facility is now on watch by the federal government.

As CBS 2's Marissa Perlman reported Friday night, the nurse told us she wants to speak for the residents who she says don't have a voice.

The nurse just quit her job at the facility. She asked us to remain anonymous as she looks for work in the field."I'm no longer there, and someone has to speak up for them," she said. The nurse also pointed out:"a patient with all type of feces on the floor. He would probably be there for quite a while until somebody comes to help him."

"Several times, I've voiced my concerns about the conditions and how the patients were not being taken care of," the nurse said,"but I was not heard."
