Just want to thank the administration and staff at Eureka Nursing Center for the care they gave my uncle and aunt. The patience they showed my aunt was amazing and professional. After her passing, we were concerned how my uncle would do without her. He was not a social person, so didn’t join in on the various activities they offer, but the staff checked in on him often and he never had a complaint. His room was always clean and he was content. Thanks so much to all the administrators and staff. We really appreciate your compassion and kindness.

I know someone in here who is bedridden and needs help with incontinence and cleanliness but the staff says they are so short-staffed that they can't help this person sometimes for hours. This includes changing sheets and cleanup sometimes making this person sit in waste for a long time. As far as I know, they do not use disposable bed pads.

This nursing home was amazing! My 89 year old mom went in after a week in ICU and another 2 weeks in a rehab facility to build her strength back so that she could go back home. The worked with her so well and she was able to go back home after about 5 weeks. The staff was amazing. The facility is older but well maintained and very clean. Such a blessing to have this place available for people in Eureka! 💕🌸💕

Eureka Nursing Home was a wonderful home for my aunt for many years. They took excellent care of her and kept in contact with family with any concerns and questions. I highly recommend them and appreciate all they did for her! I specifically want to mention Amy Mock and Whitney-thank you and the many others who surrounded my aunt with loving care!
