My mother, Marie Atkinson, was moved to LCNH on 6/22/23. She passed on 8/15/23. Even though mom was only at the county home for a short time, I can not say enough about the excellent care she received. My sister, I and my nieces visited mom often. Not only do we believe mom was cared for with compassion, gentleness and patience but we also witnessed the staff’s interaction with many of the other residents. The home is clean, food is good but most importantly the attitude of the entire staff is excellent. They truly care for the loved ones placed in the care. Thank you and God Bless to everyone at LaSalle County Nursing Home!!!!!
