This Nursing home was the nursing home that took care of faye Copeland after she was paroled of the cattle murders After she suffered a stroke that paralyzed her and refrain her from talking but I would like to just say that I think that’s pretty cool that they had her at this facility she had died in 2002

They provided great care of my grandma. Grandma talked about nursing staff like she was talking about her own family, and that's how we always saw them treating her as well. Along with that and other little touches, what always stood out to me was the lack of typical nursing home smell. Morningside Center always smelled good or like nothing, never a bad or antiseptic odor. They provided Grandma a caring and dignified home for her last years.
