Key Review Excerpts
“First when you walk in it smells clean and pleasant. 98% of the staff were friendly and helpful. Nurses were well trained and super friendly and supportive.”
“My aunt with dementia has lived at this nursing home for over a year. We had to move her in a rush after having a very troubling situation at another Oneonta facility. My entire family is so appreciative of the wonderful care my aunt consistently receives at Fox Nursing Home.”
“My mother often has to wait hours before someone helps her and when I try to find someone to help, I get told 'someone will be there soon', and wait several more hours. They no longer take her to appointments with no explanation why.”
