Beautiful facility and caring staff. The Veterans that live there are honored the moment you walk in the large lobby with their awards displayed and their story’s told for their service. I would highly recommend this facility for veterans and others that could benefit from the exceptional care and support of the staff.

The biggest like is he is fed good and it has never had an odor. The biggest dislike is he has only been there a year and they have completely lost his walker that we had to replace, two electric razors that we had to replace and countless clothes that come up missing AND THEY HAVE HIS NAME IN THEM!

Would give zero stars if I could. This nursing home refused to take a veteran with later stage dementia because they felt he wasn’t a good “fit” after accepting him months prior. The worst part aside from just absolutely being incompetent and unprofessional in every sense, is they did this via a phone call less than a week before the veteran was supposed to move in. What is the point of being a nursing home with professional medical care if they can’t even be equipped enough to take care of a dementia patient? They should be shut down. Sharing this story with as many people as I can because I have seen it absolutely wreck the family they did this to. So sad, they have no idea what they’ve done.

I can’t begin to say enough about the amazing care the staff at Clyde E Lassen has given my father . He has been there about a year and a half and he is thriving . They are angels and I am forever grateful that my dad is in a place with people who truly care. It’s very clean and inviting . Before Covid , they provided a variety of entertainment to keep our Vets happy. And even through out the pandemic they have given the absolute best care possible.

Amazing facility. My brother has been a resident for almost 2 years. It is very clean and the residents are treated with respect and great love and care. All the staff are wonderful. This facility is more like a private living facility than a nursing home. I have complete piece of mind and so glad my brother is a resident.
