First class facility and first class people who truly care about their patients! It’s like a family there! They treat patients like their own family. My sister almost didn’t want to leave! Great communication with family members as well

I am only giving a 1 star just so I can review. There are very few committed and caring employees here...maybe 2 nurses and 2 techs. All of the therapists are wonderful however. Pain meds are not given on schedule, most of the meals are awful. If you don't option 1 for the meal you can have a sandwich and chips. I should probably stop now.

The staff is simply amazing. My mother was so resistant to being admitted to Stones River Post Acute care. It took all of 8 hours to get her comfortable.<br><br>The staff was very tenative, patient and the care was top notch. The staff did little things to make her comfortable like bringing her to activities. I am out of state so they setup calls with me to discuss her care. They also helped us tranistion to an assisted living facility.<br><br>I would be totally comfortable have anyone of my loved ones stay there. Truly satisfied.
