Bowling Green Nursing and Rehabilitation is wonderful to their residents, the activities department is exceptional coming up with new things daily for the residents to enjoy instead of the same old thing like most places! You will see housekeeping working all day to keep the resident care areas clean! By far the best place in town!

BGNR does great things with the residents. The activities coordinator is very active with the residents and keeps them engaged. Food services have meals that I would actually want to eat and the residents are treated like they are at HOME instead of in a home.
