Key Review Excerpts

The entire staff has so much compassion for their residents and family. They truly go above and beyond. I am so happy Mom has this much love and compassion in her life at this time.

Memory care family member · 2025★★★★★

Gassville might not be the shiniest penny when it comes to a nursing home, but they make up for it with the staff. They do their very best to provide a loving home for your family member.

Family member · 2023★★★★★

The building, although not new, has the a cheerful decor and design than newer ones lack. Gassville Nursing Center is my choice in the Twin Lakes Area. It is VERY clean.
