This is more like a prison than a nursing home. The staff are childish and lazy and its obvious they don't care for the residents. The facilities are grossly disgusting and filthy. If you love you relatives please don't take them to wheat State Manor!

This is a great nursing home. The residents are treated with dignity and respect. They have good activities like fishing and zoo trips. I have a family member there for over a year. He wanted to go to a movie and a staff member took him. The food is good too
