I called various healthcare centers before choosing Studebaker Healthcare Center and I was amazed at how well everyone is trained and very respectful. Not only do they take well care of your family member but they also inform you of everything going on with your loved one. The staff made me feel as if I was part of a team and they took such good care of my mom. I hardly post reviews but I just had too this time

When my grandmother was there in the facility she always mention that all the staff was very kind and polite to her. When we would go staff was very kind and generous to my family and helped us with any questions or concerns we would have. It is a well maintained and clean facility.

My mother lived at this nursing home for 18 months following a stroke. The nurses and aides were consistently compassionate and treated my mother with dignity and respect. I highly recommend this nursing home.

Thanks, Luis, for not letting me visit with my father and calling the Sheriff for no reason, and now my dad is dead in your place of business. Horrible person. Law abiding citizen with no restraining order stopped from visiting. Where was my fathers rights? God sees all. You shall reap what you sow. You didn't have the right to alienate my father from me. I hope you experience the very same thing. Please, watch your family members in this place. Video everything for your proof.
