My mother has been living at Gracy Woods II for about 6 weeks now. I'm extremely impressed with the level of care that she is receiving. The staff is very attentive to details and seem to truly care about the residents. We tried 2 other SNFs before we discovered Gracy Woods II.

My father-in-law has been admitted to GW2 three times now. All three experiences have been great, he has exceeded all expectations, and discharged to home. The therapy department strengthened him and sent him home in better than expected condition. The nursing care was competent and compassionate! And the administrative staff is involved to admission to discharge. This is the only facility that we will ever use! Thank you staff at Gracywoods 2!

Gracy Woods II provided good care for our very ill loved one at the end of her life. We are especially grateful to Sandi Taylor, Admissions Director, for her responsiveness and creativity in problem-solving. We felt peace of mind knowing that our loved one was in the care of their experienced team.

I was referred to Gracy Woods II after a fall left me unable to use either hand. The rehabilitation department had competent, caring, PTAs and OTAs that worked with me every day. The CNAs who provided my care around the clock were, for the most part, also competent and caring. The biggest drawback was that English was not their first language so communication was sometimes difficult. The dining room was a bit noisy due in part to the fact that they tried to include all of the residents at each meal. The activities department provided a full and varied program that included several one-on-one personal care opportunities that I felt was above and beyond what I expected. The facility was clean and the grounds were accessible. All in all I would recommend Gracy Wood II if you are ever in need of skilled nursing.

My mom was on Gracy Woods II for 100 days after a fall. The nurses, PT and OT staff are knowledgeable and kind. The aides don't speak much English but do their jobs efficiently. Sandi, the admissions gal, is very caring - even visited mom in hospital when she had to have surgery part way through her stay. We highly recommend Gracy Woods II.
