A great nursing facility with excellent staff who go above and beyond for the residents and families. The Administrator is the best with a great upbeat positive attitude, always willing to jump in and help wherever needed. You cant teach compassion and this place sure has it! Thank you all for the hard work you do everyday!

Everyone was extremely helpful and always had a sunny disposition even when I could tell they were stressed. I couldn’t have chosen a better place for my cousin to be at. They went above and beyond to help me on everything. I was and am very grateful for all their assistance.

I feel so thankful to have a local facility that cares so much for all their residents. The staff and administration go out of their way to make sure every resident is taken care of to the best of their ability. I have had numerous clients and family members as residents during the last 17 years I have been the Ozark County Public Administrator. I always recommend Gainesville Health Care Center as one of the best!

Both of my parents have been to Gainesville Healthcare Center and were well cared for. My Dad loved the staff. My Mother recently was there for rehab and the staff took excellent care of her during her stay, especially Savannah in social services who helped tremendously with all the insurance and billing.

Wonderful facility! The nurses will always help the aides, one central nurse station that allows full view of the halls (wonderful). Keypad entry locked hall for Alzheimer patients which is very calm and quiet (great for the residents). Also have a great Therapy team! If you have a loved on needing care, I really suggest checking out Gainesville Healthcare Center in Gainesville, Missouri.
