This is the absolute worse place you could ever put a loved one. My grandpa was only here for 2 hours after he suffered from a stroke and he had the absolute worse experience of his life in this place. When he first got to this awful place the nurses which were not strong enough to lift him tried to pick him up to weigh him. They lifted him in a way that hurt him then when they were returning him to his bed they dropped him down on the bed onto his arm (which was effected by his stroke) and hurt him even more. On top of that there are no phones in any of the rooms so if your loved one experiences something like this they cant even call anyone to help. The only reason why he was able to call us is because my mom called the front desk and asked to speak to him which the lady said that she would “go find a spare phone and hook it up in his room” when he was finally able to call us. He immediately told us that he was terrified and that he absolutely needed to get out and could not stay there. He was super distressed and crying on the phone. I have never ever seen my grandpa like this before ever. And he is not the only one who experienced something like this. When we went to pick him up, we walked around and saw some of the other patients there. The living conditions were horrible. Some people there didnt even have a bed frame and were sleeping on a mattress on the floor. Also while he was there he heard a women a couple rooms down yelling for some water. Which they never came with. Some of the worst living conditions ever. We decided to immediately pull him out once we saw how horrible this place was. We had him transported back to swedish hospital but not without trouble from the staff. We had to call an ambulance to transport him back and When we first called the ambulance they said they would be there in only about 15 minutes, about 25 minutes goes by and we were starting to wonder were the paramedics are. We then called back to see were the ambulance was and that was when we found out the workers had turned away the ambulance saying there was no need for it and that no one called. We then called back and told them we needed to get him out immediately. they eventually came back and while they were entering the workers still gave them trouble but we were finally able to get him out. Meanwhile all of the workers were extremely low empathy and did not care about a single person in that home. These people are absolutely horrific and disgusting. I cannot stress how awful of a place this is. Please please do not put a loved one here, they will have one of the most traumatic experiences of their life in this prison. This place is designed to make elderly people weaker and weaker until they die alone in there. This place is truly disgusting with some of the most disgusting people on this planet.

I visited my Aunt there today and it was extremely nice! All the residents that were sitting out were very nice and talked as I walked by them. My Aunt has been here for a couple months now and is very happy with all the care she is getting. The staff is very attentive and very nice! I would recommend this place to anyone!

My mother was recently under care in this facility. She and our family live 4 hours away. Not only was there lack of communication the whole time, the staff had her fraudulently sign financial statements to take over her social security. She was a short term psychiatric patient resident that had no idea where she was and they took full advantage. I would never send anyone I care about there again.

Cherylynn and their team is exceptionally excellent!! I had to move my mom within two days as home wasn’t an option any more I was panicking on how would I get mom somewhere in time as her discharge was on Jan 12th . That’s when Candace and her whole team stepped in and helped made that happen that same day We got my mom in and her care plan all done within same day ! They have helped me with many medical things I needed for mom as well !! Management , nurses and cnas are amazing 🤩 they even have a doctor onsite daily which has been great 😊 my mom went from home to a hospital to rehab to here and every one has been so helpful and welcoming and helping my mom with her transition and feeling at home !! I would definitely recommend Cherylynn to other families!! And I’m there almost daily to see mom and the atmosphere is just so home like !! Their activities is also amazing and tailored to the residents and their likes !! Honestly I couldn’t be more happier than now and just love 💕 all the support my mom gets and me too when needed !!

Cherrelyn Healthcare Center is truly exceptional! My Grandma has lived here for 8 years and I cannot say enough about how amazing the staff is. Her nurse Gina and so many others have loved and cared for her like she is part of their own family. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with smiles and kindness from all who work there, everyone is genuinely kind. Despite the challenges of dementia, my grandma has thrived here. She has made so many friends and enjoys all the activities, which are a highlight of living at Cherrelyn, especially around the holidays. This year, she even got to take a photo with a reindeer. I also got to bring my kids to a Halloween party there and go trick or treating with the residents, which was such a special experience. The staff goes above and beyond to create meaningful, inclusive, and fun events for all the residents. They also plan fun outings outside of the facility that the residents can enjoy. I feel so lucky that my grandma lives here, and I am incredibly thankful for all that the staff has done for her over the last 8 years and continues to do every day. I honestly cannot recommend Cherrelyn Healthcare Center enough. The staff is compassionate, dedicated, and make every resident feel valued and loved.
