A place that truly cares about their residents.

This nursing home does not have good employees. Most employees like to sit around and do nothing being on their phones. They like to run out all the best employees they do have and keep around the ones that want to just sit around and do nothing. This so called establishment needs to work on getting the right/great employees working or are already working.

Drove from Nashville to see my Grandma in the Alzheimer’s Unit. We visited today between 2-3 and cannot speak more highly of the staff there! They were so attentive to every person and when talking to my grandma about her upcoming birthday on Monday; someone from staff overheard and went to confirm her age! Happy my grandma is in such good hands. Thank you all for everything. I know it ain’t easy but their families appreciate you so so much.
