J. Michael Morrow Memorial Nursing Home

My grandmother was diagnosed with lung cancer and had to undergo a lobectomy. After surgery she could not return to her own home because of the post-op care she needed. She was also on oxygen for quite a while and because her home had propane gas, there was a danger there. It was safest for her to be in a facility that could administer her medications and provide continuous nursing care around the clock while allowing her the independence she still sought. She recovered wonderfully from this surgery and was given the ok to go back home. She decided that it was in her best interest to stay in the nursing home. She had friends there and enjoyed the daily activities. The nursing staff became like family to her and to all of us. She enjoyed the food and the time that the nurses and staff actually took to talk to her and listen to her. The nursing home is extremely clean and does not have that normal hospital/antiseptic smell. When you first walk in you get a full view of the dining room which was always in perfect condition. The floors and public restrooms were always clean. My grandmother's room was cleaned daily and was always in perfect condition. She ended up having a recurrence of the same cancer and after surgery went back to the nursing home until the day that she died. This nursing home provided exactly what every nursing home should-dignity and respect in one's final days. I will never forget the treatment that she received there and I will forever be grateful for the care and compassion she received in the last years of her life.

If I could some this nursing and care center up in a phrase it would be "Exceptionally Immaculate." First off this facility has multiple wings with two forms of care: the assisted living for the independent residents and the infirmary or nursing care for the total care residents. Every time I have visited this facility it has been very clean without that "nursing home stinch." The staff at this facility know about their residents and get on a personal level with them. Also every time I visit this facility some of the residents are "doing their own thing." It does not seem like they are treated as if they are in a daycare. I don not have any relative nor am I associated in any way with this facility. Because of my job, I visit nursing and care facilities on an everyday basis and I can say that this is an exceptional facility.
