We were very fortunate our mother was able to stay at St Joseph's Nursing Home for 2 1/2 years. The care and compassion provided by all administration and nursing staff during this very difficult pandemic was nothing short of amazing. Your weekly communications, along with all the love and support you gave our mother meant more than words can ever say. You are superheros!!!!!

As a volunteer and as a friend of several residents I see nothing to criticize here. I never asked about the CNAs’ pay, which I expect is nowhere near what they are worth. But no nursing home anywhere is paying them enough. The place is clean, the residents seem happy, well-fed and secure. One man I know requested to be transferred there from another in our county because he heard that veterans got special treatment, and he was right.

Definitely the nicest nursing homes in st. Lawrence county. Being someone who has worked on the inside of a nursing home as a CNA, i can say that even though the rooms are small, the nursing home as a whole is super nice and definitely way better than others in the area. I would trust the staff here with my family members before i trusted the other nursing homes with even my cats.
