The grand islander is one of the best nursing homes I’ve visited!

I visit this community often as we have a couple of residents who require our healthcare support. Their staff is very engaged with the residents and genuinely care about providing the best quality of service. I see several improvements occurring, especially as of late...newer staff and a very high level of enthusiasm. I would highly recommend considering Grand Islander for short term rehab as well as long term care for your loved one.

It was suggested I do a “pop in tour” before having a close friend admitted, so glad I did!<br>Hallways blocked by clutter, foul smell in general. Patients just hanging around in doorways without direction. No activities going on, did not see any supervision. Patients did not even engage with each other. Employees I did see looked irritable. Grand Islander is not an acceptable place for anyone. If I could do a ZERO rating I would.
