I am so grateful for the outstanding care my mom receives here. Everyone, from the staff to upper management, has been WONDERFUL. The facility is beautiful, the food is excellent, and the daily activities are top notch. My mom truly loves it here, and it has been a Godsend for our family. Highly recommend!

My family and I are deeply grateful for the care provided to my mother during her final days. The staff showed compassion and professionalism during an incredibly difficult time, and there were several CNAs including Nate and Megan who went above and beyond in making her feel cared for and respected. Their kindness did not go unnoticed, and we truly appreciate the dignity they helped preserve for her. That said, I would like to offer a small piece of feedback in the hope that it may help future patients and families. Toward the end of her stay, there were times when comfort measures did not feel as readily accessible as they could have been. In such critical moments, timely attention to comfort can make a meaningful difference in a patient’s experience. I share this with respect and appreciation for the work being done, and with the hope that continued attention to comfort care will further strengthen the already compassionate environment you provide.

My mother-in-law spent the last three months of her life at Homestead. She was kept clean, loved, and given excellent care. The facility is very clean, with no smell,

My brother has been in their care for 9months & I’ve been very pleased with his care. They constantly confirm any issues that he has to let me know what action is being taken. If anyone else has a comment about their love ones I would love to hear about it.

My mom went in for rehab. This place is sad. They serve THE same thing EVERY DAY for breakfast. They left my mom in the bathroom for 15-20 minutes. The pull cord did not work and she even had a bell to use and they claimed they could not hear it. She finally had to yell to get someone to come and help her. She has been ignored before for other reasons as well. They finally told me that my mom was going to her assisted living place after I learned about it from my mom and that was 3 days later. The case worker even asked me if I could transport her to her assisted living place. I told him No. They have their own vans to do that on the premises to do that. LAZY and unprofessional. She did get transportation. I am really NOT impressed with it.
