Do not let them do your laundry. Things will disappear. They have yet taken care of the mice poop in my moms room, I notified them over a week ago. The hallway smells nasty most of the time. My mom has only had 2 or maybe 3 showers since she’s been there, the middle of February. They turn call lights off without checking on patients. She does enjoy going to PT, or they answer her light anywhere between 30 mins to 3 hours.

I just want to brag on Dunbar Centers Guest Services director Erica and Rory their social worker. From day one any questions we have had these two have gone above and beyond to help us navigate this time. I have family at Dunbar and these two are hands down amazing. We have used other centers for several members of our family and Dunbar takes the cake! The facility is warm and welcoming. Staff is friendly and the building is clean! I am so thankful my family member is taken care of when I can’t be there.

This is best facility I have ever seen, my wife’s Mother was admitted there and it certainly changed my mind about nursing homes. The entire time she was there she was very happy and made many friends. The center had excellent programs and activities to keep all the residents busy. They even had a “ Prom” night and everyone dressed up for the event and attire for the residents were provided by the Dunbar Center.she had a great roommate and was so very happy there.<br>Also a big shoutout to Samantha Parsons in the business office for all the assistance and advice with the Medicaid applications and paperwork, she was wonderful.

The Dunbar Center has been a blessing for me and my family, they have been taking care of my sister since the last week of December 2022 to the present. My sister is unable to take care of herself she has to have someone with her at all time. All of the staff at the Dunbar Center has done an amazing job taking care of my sister. Samantha Parsons, I thing she is the head of Finance Dept, she has help me so much through all of this, without her help I don't know what I would do, she is an amazing person, if I have a question about something all I have to do is text or call her, if she don't answer right then she always get back to me.
