Key Review Excerpts
“My disabled father was wonderfully taken care of, he never complained only showed us how great of a relationship he had with their team. He unfortunately suffered another stroke while there and was promptly taken care of and taken to the hospital, to which he returned back to the facility on hospice.”
“I can’t say enough about the care and treatment provided for my brother in law who was moved here from another facility. The genuine compassion from every nurse, wound specialist, CNA, social worker, etc. has been amazing.”
“If you’re trying to decide where to place your loved one, Cherokee Nursing and Healing is a strong choice. What truly sets this facility apart is its consistent, hands-on leadership.”
