Google Reviews
46 reviews on Google“Effingham Healthcare & Senior Living has received a high volume of positive feedback, particularly regarding a leadership change under an administrator named Micah that many families credit for significant facility improvements. While many reviewers praise the warm, family-like atmosphere and recent renovations, there are serious allegations regarding sanitation and staff responsiveness from at least one critical review. Families should weigh the strong local reputation for care against the need for closer monitoring of daily hygiene and administrative communication.”
