While some families report positive experiences with the therapy and nursing staff, the recent reports of severe medical neglect and poor hygiene are significant red flags.

Key Review Excerpts
“My first visit to this facility was anything other than welcoming. The dining hall was overrun with flies, food spills on the floor and tables. In my Mom’s room there was trash on the floor.”
“My grandmother came out worst than when she went in. She was supposed to be rehabilitated after her stroke. She came out with no legs and taking meds that she never had to take before.”
“Legacy Nursing and Rehab of Tallulah has been amazing in the care of my mom! The therapy staff, nurses and aides have all been awesome.”
