We had to put both my parents into this nursing home. I'm very impressed with the care and and kindness this girls has shown us during the time they been there. Everyone always nice to me when I'm there. Plus while my mom was dying they all spent extra time with her. I would recommend this nursing home. I'm sad we soon be moving my dad so he be closer to us. I will never forget how wonderful you all are and what you have done for us. God bless you all and keep up good work.

I was very impressed with the staff and the care my mom is recieving. The staff was extremely caring and attentive to the residents. They are very busy and constantly on the move interacting with the residents. They treated each and every person with dignity and respect. I appreciate each one of them and want to thank them for their hard work during difficult times. The home was clean and several residents were walking around in halls and always I saw staff interacting with them. Again I was impressed with all members of the staff I met .

This facility needs a better phone system for the patients! A cordless phone with the base at the nurses station is useless. I've tried several times to talk to my sister who is a patient there and can't understand anything she says and apparently she can't me either because the connection is bad to non-existent. Are the owners too cheap to have a phone and a TV in each patient room like a normal Rehab Center? The patients are told to bring their own cell phone and their own TV!! Sorry if I sound upset, but I live in NC and can't be there with her so calling is the only way I can visit with her right now.
