Key Review Excerpts

The staff was amazing. The facility is older but well maintained and very clean. Such a blessing to have this place available for people in Eureka!

Rehab patient's family · 2025★★★★★

They took excellent care of her and kept in contact with family with any concerns and questions. I highly recommend them and appreciate all they did for her!

Long-term resident's family · 2024★★★★★

I know someone in here who is bedridden and needs help with incontinence and cleanliness but the staff says they are so short-staffed that they can't help this person sometimes for hours.
