Key Review Excerpts

“My grandma walked herself into this facility walking and talking... Not a month later my grandma was bound to a wheel chair, didn’t know who anyone was and out of her mind and in briefs incontinent. Shortly after she was sent to the hospital because she was not eating.”

Granddaughter of resident · 2023★☆☆☆☆

“The Nursing home did NOT call us until 3pm today, a full 12 hours after my father had fallen! They knew going in he was a fall risk, so we assumed appropriate measures were taken.”

Daughter of resident · 2019★☆☆☆☆

“The activities director goes the extra mile to get the residents involve in playing games, crafts, etc. I'd recommend anyone that has a loved one, that can't take care of their self to be put in Stanton Nursing Center.”
