My mother has been there for 4 years or so. She had dementia and I feel they are lacking on her care. There are FOODS that can help dementia patients with their loss of thinking patterns and pathways. There are new meds they aren't trying, I mean she doesn't even have a neurologist. Come on our parents deserve better care.

If I could go back in time my mother would never have went to this place. Covid spread through this center like wildfire. I believe it was very much mismanaged. My mom would probably still be here today. Beware.

My Mom and My Gramma both live in Corydon Specialty Care facility. My mom has been a 15 year resident and has been very well taken care of. My Gramma has only been a resident for a couple of years and couldn't be happier. The staff is very professional and compassionate, and very informative. I love the staff as an extended family and appreciate everything they have done for my girls (Mom and Gramma). Thank you, Jill Hyson ( Daughter and Granddaughter)
