I can’t say enough good things about this facility! The Convalescent Center truly goes above and beyond in providing compassionate, high-quality care. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are attentive, kind, and genuinely dedicated to the well-being of every resident. They treat residents with dignity and respect, and it’s clear they take pride in what they do.

If you care about the well-being of your loved ones, we strongly advise against sending them to Sikeston Convalescent. Our family member has experienced multiple incidents of injury and illness that were not promptly communicated to us. Additionally, we have encountered consistent unprofessionalism from both staff and administration, who have been dismissive and unresponsive to our concerns.

DO NOT SEND YOUR LOVE ONES HERE! Neglectful and rude staff. The staff is ill-equipped. All patients are sitting in their own urine/feces and roaming the hall w/o any guidance. Go else where!
