Currently here, coffee is limited and they take your entire deposit. You have to pay for snacks when opened and you have to be supervised to smoke and wear a bib😡

Update: my brother is in the hospital now septic from bed sores and an antibiotic resistant UTI. The nursing home showed up at the hospital and balmed me paralyzed brother for being in this condition. My brother is newly paralyzed (only a month) and was left sitting in their own bowel movement for hours without being checked on. Hid catheter was not properly capped after being emptied, causing it to leak onto the floor. The call button in his room does not work, and they were forgotten at dinner after being moved — only to be brought a cold plate and told to “do their best and eat it." I understand that facilities can be understaffed, but basic care and dignity are not optional. No one should be left feeling forgotten, neglected, or treated like an inconvenience — especially when they are vulnerable and unable to care for themselves. This experience has been deeply disappointing and concerning. And he just got there Monday!

Candy is wonderful there amd very pleasant anytime anything goes wrong she is prompt to call me with my brother needs. I can't say they don't take care him cause I honest know they do . And candy is so sweet when she calls and honest to what she knows. They do get them prompt help when needed. And make sure they get to hospital immediately . The pharmacist recommended me to them they kept her mom and dad and she said best place ever . And I will say they stay in touch . Would I trust there judgement yes I do fully . They where more accurate then hospital last time. It took hospital days to figure out when the nursing facility was pretty dead on what he had if only hospital would throughly examine him like nursing home does it would not took three days in hospital tryin figure out . Would I recommend this staff yes I trust them to do what I wasn't able give him the help and best quality care they can . Prompts to candy she is very sweet and kind and has never treated me badly never. And my brother says he loves it there so I would give 5 stars to they're quality of care . ✨️ truly passionate to there patients that have to have kids and do what you can not. Candy deserves employee of month if you ask me she is just to kind and quick and get things rolling. Fast there is no playing with lives at this place . I never saw such a good staff . Sometimes u may bump.into one you don't really feel but ever one has bad days and got to understand that . But this lady goes beyond to do her job and is the most calm sweet voice cause u never know what they may be callin for . The Dr's there I agree are most likely accurate as well I think they make a bond to care for there patients. I really do and feel safe with them doing what I could not team work.

These people are wonderful!! Mom was here from March 2019 to October 2019. We only had her moved to be closer to us. Do not judge a book by its cover. This building is old but the people are what matter. They are kind and caring. We never had a set schedule of going in but mom was always clean and happy and well taken care of. We can only hope that the new place is as good as Ellenburgs.
