Just wanted to say that having to put my mother in a nursing home is the hardest decisions I ever had to make but thankfully I chose the right place and Sarah Carpenter who is one of the employees there has gone over and beyond making my mom feel welcome and comfortable. I don't have to bad anymore because I know she's taking care of her and just wanted to say how grateful I am for her being there. She's truly an angel in disguise. All the staff is great don't get me wrong I just had to put credit where credit is due. Thanks to all of y'all and Sarah especially for making the hardest decision not make me feek like a bad person anymore and put my mind and heart at ease knowing that she's taken care of bc I wasn't able to do everything that needed to be done.

This place just changed owners and were having a difficult transition. Food was awful. Place smelled of urine. Just not what it could be.

Sarah Bryant is seriously one of the best CNAs at the nursing home. She always goes the extra mile, making sure everyone is comfortable and happy. She buys gifts for her patients because she loves to see the smile on their face when they receive them. She is one of those people who work here because she loves helping other people, not just for the money. She's just got a knack for doing good deeds and making a difference.
