The rooms are spacious. The home is beautiful, it does not look like a skilled nursing facility. The staff is amazing, Wound Care gets my highest praise, right beside the activities staff. My father has been in several skilled nursing facilities in many states. This one is, by far, the best I have seen. Better than all the others that the VA is willing to work with.

They don’t have enuff staff ! And most of the residents need assistance getting out of bed !! Most residents lay in bed all day !! And if they are so busy they don’t have the time to help feed the ones who need help !! Please check before putting your family member here !! The deserve the best care !!!

This is a fantastic home. My father, who has dementia, has been for about 5 years. He is kept clean and well fed. He always comments about the good food. The place is spotless.

He never participated i…

Ask to see the chart, read throughly and never feel bad to question the care or lack of it. The therapy sessions were excellent. She had a feeding tube so can’t give a rating on food. The …

This is a model facility. So impressed with everything they do. Nurses and everyone there are top notch and I cannot say enough good things. They have daily events and keep the residents engaged when possible. The day I took my father there birthday celebrations were taking place with live music and an ice cream social. The rooms are spacious, staff friendly and professional. If your loved one is a veteran you don't need to look any further. Just take a tour and you will see that this facility is second to non…

I liked Senator Ben Atchley State Veterans' Home. It was nicely settled and the landscaping was pleasing. As I entered, I had a good feeling about it. It was not ostentatious design-wise, but more on the practical side.
