Our sweet grandmother is in the facility for rehabilitation and care after knee surgeries and other serious medical care. Though it isn't the most ideal for our family members, the staff has been so friendly and helpful with every visit. It helps to know there are good people caring for these great folks we love so much! Christy on G unit was a savior! We had a package delivered that they left at the door and she located it out of her way and got it to granny. We were so thankful and appreciative for her! This is one of the simple acts that they convey daily without ever feeling like you're a hassle.

My 96 year old father was there for about 6 years and they have had him removed to another nursing home for bad behavior. My problem is they said he didn't have dementia he was just that way. It was found in his chart that he did have dementia and they didn't start treating him for it till just before he was kicked out. They should of suspected something with his bad behavior. They are the medical professionals. Well you won he's gone. Are you going to kick out all the patients with dementia behavior problems ?

My mom and sister are in the Presbyterian Home and the staff are very nice and friendly. And the environment is pleasant. So come and check the Presbyterian Home out and tell them that Sandra Bryant said give them a chance and you will love their staff because they will try to meet your demands.

My mom transferred from the hospital to Presbyterian Home in a wheelchair. After a couple of weeks of rehab and receiving tender loving care from the staff at Presbyterian Home, she became encouraged and began walking with a walker. She was then able to transition to an assisted living setting closer to home. We cannot say enough good about every staff member that helped us at Presbyterian Home. They truly care about their residents and treat you like family. We will be forever grateful!!! Emily Anderson & Family

My mother was there for rehab. The staff was wonderful - attentive, professional, and caring. Great communication as well. She also enjoyed the meals! I have heard good things from community members, and I was equally impressed. Stephanie Thomas was very helpful with everything throughout and made transitioning home easy.
