Resident & family reviews
4.7 · 3 reviewsMy dad was a resident of this nursing home. I was very impressed with the staff, nurses, volunteers and over all looks of this place. I was always treated with respect as were those who lived there. It was very clean and did not smell like some of the homes out there. My dad was a resident until his passing. If I need to go into a nursing home this would be the one I would go to.
The rooms are very clean. My staff interaction was very good. The nurses and aids do their job very well.
The facility itself is very clean and seems accommodating. My grandmother lived here for many years, and every time I visited, the staff was extremely friendly toward me and my family. My father and aunt both had good experiences in arranging to take my grandmother out for either holidays or just overnight stays in general. The nurses sometimes took a while to get to the room when we needed hep getting her in and out of bed and into a wheelchair, but that may be due to other residents having more urgent needs. Overall, I had a very pleasant experience with the Gino J. Merli Veterans Center.
