We have had 2 visits for injury. First was for 90 days. Second for 30 days. As a spouse, I am qualified to give Chaffee Nursing Center an A+. My comment to others: “You will enter as a somewhat unknown and quickly become a friend”. In our stay, staff also made sure I was provided for as well. So appreciate the care and compassion I observed. ❤️

We couldn't be happier with our choice to move my mom to Chaffee Nursing Center. It is the cleanest LTC facility I have ever been in and the staff is top notch. She is very happy there and just can't say enough about the staff - from the bathing assistance, to food services, financial assistance and nursing- everyone treats her with respect and kindness. We receive phone calls and updates from appropriate staff when there is any kind of change. There area also plenty of activities for the residents and a couple beautiful outdoor areas for them to enjoy as well. I am so very thankful we have a safe place for my mom.

My sister was extremely happy with the care and therapy she received at Chaffee Nursing Center after she broke her hip. She was very skeptical about going to a " nursing home" but was pleasantly surprised and glad she was there. The care from both the nursing staff and therapy staff was outstanding. The food and kitchen staff were 5 star. The housekeeping and mantanince staff never failed to respond to any need she had. She was transported to all of her doctors appointments. From administration to Steve the BBQ guy they all became friends and neighbors. And she has told her family if she ever needs their service again she will not hesitate to go back.

This is one of the cleanest nursing home in the area. They have a great activity program and everyone is friendly. I recommend them highly. I wish I had found them sooner.
