My mom was there for three years and she definitely had a lot going on and they were able to care for her. They also had activities and events that the patients can do. There were some rules that are odd but make sense, like they can’t force people to change and shower. There are some areas of concern, like the eternal smell of pee. Items in her room went missing a lot. I mean, the patients would get things from bingo and she would keep them in her room but each time I visited it would look different because things would just disappear. Laundry would manage to lose a lot of her clothes and blankets except for a few things.

The staff at Liberty take wonderful care of both of my parents. They are always loving, attentive, and truly compassionate. It means so much to our family to see the way they treat my parents as if they were their own. The communication from the staff is always clear and consistent, which gives our family great peace of mind. Knowing our parents are surrounded by people who genuinely care about their well-being makes all the difference. We are very grateful for the care and kindness shown to them every day.

My mother has been at Liberty Commons in Lee County since July of last year, and I cannot say enough about how wonderful this facility has been for her and for our family. Placing my mom in a nursing home was never part of our plan, and it was a very emotional decision but from day one, the entire staff made us feel welcomed, supported, and reassured. The nursing team, administrative staff, and everyone in between have been absolutely amazing. They truly care about their residents and go above and beyond every single day. I want to give a special thank you to Tierra, who helped me navigate my mother’s Medicaid process. I had no idea where to even start, but she took the time to explain everything clearly and kept me informed every step of the way. Her patience, communication, and reassurance helped ease a lot of stress during a very overwhelming time . She have such a warm heart to help. Also, Ms. Leslie, the DON, has been incredible to work with. Anytime I had a question or needed something for my mom, she handled it promptly and without hesitation. This facility has truly become a blessing for our family. I’m grateful for the care, respect, and kindness they continue to show my mother. Highly recommend this facility to anyone looking for a place where their loved one will be treated like family.

My 63 year old sister had a massive stroke and needs the help of a nursing home now. She was in 2 other facilities in VA before transferring her here to be closer to me. Out of the 3 nursing and rehab facilities she has been in this far the best. The staff takes the time to make the best of a situation that no one really wants to be in. They are very festive there and make things fun for the residents with a lot of activities and the participate in them and really care for the residents. Whenever I visit it is always clean, most residents are up staring their day beds are made. I find that 95 percent of the staff are very caring and helpful with residents. There is always a few hiccups in any place you go to in these facilities because nothing is perfect. They really encourage the residents to get involved in activity and seem to truly care for the residents. My sister unfortunately doesn't take advantage of all the things they do which is her choosing because her life has truly changed and she is depressed but at no fault of the staff. I have been pleased with the things I have seen and experienced at this facility. When there has been a question or issue the Senior staff are happy to talk about it and make necessary changes if need be. Thank you Liberty Commons staff for your dedication and care for the residents there.
