Key Review Excerpts
“The biggest like is he is fed good and it has never had an odor. The biggest dislike is he has only been there a year and they have completely lost his walker that we had to replace, two electric razors that we had to replace and countless clothes that come up missing AND THEY HAVE HIS NAME IN THEM!”
“I can’t begin to say enough about the amazing care the staff at Clyde E Lassen has given my father . He has been there about a year and a half and he is thriving . They are angels and I am forever grateful that my dad is in a place with people who truly care.”
“Would give zero stars if I could. This nursing home refused to take a veteran with later stage dementia because they felt he wasn’t a good “fit” after accepting him months prior.”
