I came to visit my uncle and they only allow outside visits under the carport bc of Covid which is understandable.. but why allow running cars to sit under the carport too during the visits? Why should the residence and visitors have to breath in car fumes?

I was so happy to be able to volunteer here. The facility is beautiful, so clean, the employees are so polite. Iris was so helpful in showing us around and just how she interacted with everyone. This place is well kept, they have a beautiful birdcage and they have birds. I came with my church and really enjoyed spending time with everyone. I will be coming back regularly in these coming months. Thank you.

This place is clean. The staff was polite, respectful and helpful. I've visited 3 times. They have a large birdcage and wonderful decorations and memorabilia about the walls and hallways. It's tough to find a place for loved ones that is acceptable, this is one of the best facilities I have visited.

After an exhausting search my cousin became a resident at Nininger. From my very first encounter at the front desk to the present 12/12/23 I have nothing but praise for the administrator Ms. Shannon, Ms. Sadie and the entire physical therapy department. Everyone we have encountered have been pleasant, concerned, caring, compassionate and nurturing to my cousin and all the other veterans we pass during our visits. The Alpha unit is very clean and cheerful. I visit often and I always feel welcome. They keep me informed of his personal needs and progress. Ms. Rita and Ms. Jill in the activities department really try hard to make sure that the activities they plan for the veterans are interesting, engaging and inviting. Keep up the good work Ms. Shannon and staff.

I come to visit here as a volunteer to see the Veterans that have done so much for this Country! All the Veterans speak highly about the nursing staff. Very clean and great atmosphere! Well be back again to visit these heroes. God bless America and God bless our Veterans. #Honor
