"We toured Elison Assisted Living & Memory Care of Marietta. It was very nice, and the staff was nice. I even tasted the food. My sister enjoyed her visit. I really can't say anything bad about them. The rooms were nice. The studio we looked at was smaller than the one that she has at the other facility. We liked the layout at the other facility better. When she gets out of bed, she has to walk, not very long, not very far, like ten steps, but at the other facility where she is, she gets out of bed and walks three steps, and that's where the bathroom is. She has some issues with incontinence, so time is of the essence. The financial staff was very accommodating, so everything was very good."

"My grandmother was in an extended stay situation. The Center was glad to furnish her with a private room. They allowed us to bring in her fish tank, personal artwork, pictures of family, television, compuer and extensive collection of books. We were even allowed to host family dinners at holiday times for our very large family! They not only tended to her daytime needs but in the evening would sit with her while she was lonely. Her room was dubbed "the hang out"! The staff truely becane an extension of our own family and we keep in touch still. When she became critically ill they provided every accomodation to our family to allow us to be with her. Snacks, drinks, allowing us to stay past visiting hours, honoring our request for hospice. Upon her death several staff came to the funeral. We donated the fish tank to the home to allow the other residents to enjoy its beauty. "

"My aunt was a resident in Belpre Landing Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation. It was a fairly new place. It was excellent too. It was clean and roomy. It was all updated. They had a movie room, an exercise room, and plenty of things for residents to do. It was excellent; I didn't see any problems with it. She got plenty of attention. There were a lot of things for them to do. She was a ninety-three-year-old lady, and she wasn't too big on the rehab, but they did provide really good care. The place was clean, and they do have some assisted living there at that place as an option. She had a good-sized room. It was a big room; it had its own restroom and a closet for clothes. It was a nice, big room; you could adjust the air conditioning and heat separately. It has big windows for plenty of light, and two or three nice chairs. It was a private room. The staff were good. You could go in and eat there too. They didn't have a select menu, so you had to eat whatever the residents were served; but it was good food."

"Love & Care is a very friendly place, you feel like you're family. They make my mother feel welcome. That's the most important thing and she calls it home so I can't ask for anything beyond that. She's very happy there. The food is adequate. I wouldn't say it's great, I'd say it's adequate, it meets state standards. My mom is a picky eater so it's hard for me to tell. I think the food is fine. If I went to a restaurant and they fed me that food, I would not be disappointed. The price is very low in comparison to other places in the area and she's very content there and that's the focus for me that she's content. My mom and my aunt are both there and they're very down-to-earth people. They don't want things to be really glitzy and glamoury. So absolutely, I would totally recommend it to anyone who is not looking for anything glamorous. "

"My parent-in-laws lived in Glenwood Community for six years, and they were very happy with what they had. The independent living side was excellent, and it was well-maintained. The staff was friendly, they seemed to care about the residents, and the food was good. My mother-in-law enjoyed the activities, and meeting other residents."

"Mom stayed in Riverside Landing Nursing and Rehabilitation from August until November. I would say that all in all, it was as good experience as she was going to get for a nursing home. I thought the girls were especially caring, especially Alison and Vanessa who were in her room often. The folks were super and really did care about Mom, and I appreciated it. The food was on the poor side; Mom didn’t like it at all, but she didn’t like too much anywhere. "
