Most families who left reviews praise the caring staff and good food at this Council Grove skilled nursing facility, with several calling out the kitchen and care staff for going above and beyond. However, one detailed review raises a serious concern about medication and dietary management for a diabetic resident, which is worth asking about directly.

Kept giving my diabetic uncle sugary foods, and giving his morning meds at night, I don't want to blame staff, but management. his blood pressure was through the roof, you can't be doing that. It's attempt of murder almost, I know old people go to nursing homes to finish off their life but assisting to kill them is wrong. Please do better for other residence lucky I don't come down there to do something about it. My friend is a CNA and they even said what y'all doing is bad
