Great place, but they have a black pit-bull that barks at everyone when you walk in the door. Scares you at first.

My mother loves her place and the caregivers, nurses, doctor, and staff at MCLC. She is very well cared for and has many ladies she cares about here. We are thrilled about her care. She feels like she is loved here. 💙

We are getting great service, the staff is very hard working, and try very hard to give good caring service. They are compassionate and good overall people.

This place is subpar! My mother in law was in there for almost a week because of a fall she took at home , while in McDonald County Living Center she did not get a shower and her room was very nasty , housekeeping didn’t clean the toilet, it was very disgusting! The staff is not the friendliest especially when you call them out!! This place is not even worth one star!
