Very pleased to be greeted so warmly. Everyone I met was interested in caring for my Mom to the best of their ability. As her long term caregiver I felt they listened to me regarding her health history what has been successful in her care at home.

My mom was here for rehab for a few weeks. Their entire staff is second to none! Very much a family atmosphere. We are so thankful for their care ❤️

I have just moved my mother in temporarily, and every member of the staff we have encountered has been incredibly kind. When walking to my mother's room I have seen the staff laughing together and with residents, seemingly enjoying their jobs and each other's company. It really makes it easier to leave a loved one there for care and rehab.

My mother is there for rehab. This place is very clean; no unpleasant odor. Staff members are very kind and loving. Wonderful place. Hometown ministries provide live singing/music "Gaither-style" with the interested patients. Impressive!
