Calhoun Convalescent is under new management and is making significant progress. The positive changes are noticeable throughout the facility, from improved communication and a responsiveness to a stronger focus on resident care and staff support. The management team continues to work hard to create a welcoming environment for all. It is very encouraging to see the facility moving in a positive direction. Kudos goes to the DON, Kenyetta, for building an exceptional leadership team. Her ability to lead, mentor, and inspire staff has definitely contributed greatly to the positive changes throughout the facility.

The staff are very nice and welcoming. The residents are well groomed and enjoy living here. They have a lot of activities to keep residents busy and also a beautiful courtyard to enjoy. If you are looking for a place for your loved one I would recommend staying local so you can visit your loved one anytime.

The older black lady at the front where you log in at is very rude, impolite, discourteous, ill mannered, disrespectful just to name a few. She has no hospitality at all, when someone who has driven 3hrs to come see their love one and this is the first thing that you're greeted by its shows what's really going on in your building. This isn't the first time I've encountered her. I have to truly bit my tongue. She really needs to be replaced.

This facility has a high employment turnover. Their employee staff is always disappearing. Some employees help while others sit a gossip about the residents making nasty comments about each and everyone nurses included. The nursing staff is lazy will not lift a finger to assist when needed their cell phones and sleep break while on duty at the nursing station or in an empty room is more important. Find another place to bring your love one. This should be your last resource if you need a quick dollar.
