Key Review Excerpts

My grandmother who lived in the apartment side & then the nursing home side was always very well cared for. I am grateful for how kind and caring the staff was over the years.

Long-term resident's family · 2020★★★★★

Local staff is fine but the caretakers of this facility that are temp workers are not nice to the elderly. There have been multiple occasions and complaints put in with the Director or the location Shirley and nothing has been done by her and leadership.

Family member · 2024☆☆☆☆

Very clean, supportive and caring staff and administration. My mother lives there and really enjoys it. Her overall physical and mental health has improved since moving into Divine.
