The Best Nursing Home Communities in Gallia County, OH

"I visited the facility during a fundraiser that was raising money to pay for Christmas presents for all the residents. The staff was very courteous to all the residents and the guests during this event. I found the buildings to be very clean and well decorated. The staff seemed to have a good rapport with the patients and appeared to sincerely care for them. I thought that the nursing home was in a good location on the edge of town. The surrounding area was quiet yet close to the park, shops, and restaurants making it convenient for family to take out the residents on outings. There was ample parking and outdoor space for the residents to enjoy short walks through. I was shown the rehab room where the residents can play games on a Wii to improve fine and gross motor skills. This nursing home seemed to be a warm and caring place where much needed rest could be obtained. "

"Putting a loved one in a nursing home is never an easy decision. My mother had several falls before we realized she needed care everyday! Heritage was recommended to us and we couldn't be happier! Her room is spacious and very clean. Staff encouraged us to bring special pictures and items to help with the move. I love all the staff! Everyone from the nurses to the aids to the cleaning staff and the maintenance personnel all made mom feel safe and secure! Danielle is the activity director who encourages mom to get involved in memory games, exercise and manicures! I feel she is getting better just the few months she has been there. We haven't been able to take advantage of the beautiful grounds available for patients to enjoy, but look forward for spring to get her outside! When we took mom to my house for Christmas, when she became tired, she wanted to go Home and get in her bed! That says it all!"

"Rose Terrace Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center was recommended by the social worker in the hospital, and my sister was brought there. The staff were very professional and attentive. "

"My aunt moved into Ravenswood Care Center. What I like best is that it's close to my aunt's family and friends. Her apartment is very nice, clean, and comfortable, and they cater to her every need. The staff is very good and accommodating."

"My mom stayed at Teays Valley Center. I thought the staff was very caring. For most nursing homes, they were understaffed, but the people that did take care of my mom were very caring and took good care of her. The meals were fine. I took a few bites of the food, and I thought it was very good. The rooms were a little old. They need to be updated. They were clean, and I was satisfied with that. My mom did some physical therapy. My mom's Medicare was paying for her."

"I recently spent several weeks in Genesis HealthCare Teays Valley Center after suffering a broken femur caused by a fall. I can unequivocally say that my treatment and care far exceeded expectations. A superb staff and therapists awaited me. They were attentive to my every need and encouraged me at every turn. When I made my first steps with a walker as my therapist guided me down the hallway, I was greeted by the staff with comments of "You go girl" and "Look at you go!". I felt as if I had just qualified for the Olympics! This kind of encouragement was invaluable. Thank you Genesis!"

"My sister seems to be well cared for and happy there Thanks to everyone that cares for her "

"My mom was in Mountain View Care Center for rehab. It was clean, and the food was good. The people were very nice to my mother. We were very pleased. There wasn't always somebody to feed her. She can't see, so it's hard for her to eat on her own. The food was great, though. It was paid for with her insurance. They were so busy, and it was hard for them to sit and help my mommy. We always make sure we were there, though. I know somebody was there to cut hair and such. People would sit out front. They also have a church service and such, but she wasn't able to participate."

"Putnam Center is a top notch team. From contacting us prior to Mom's arrival to find out about her, to arranging for her needs prior to discharge and everything in between, they were so kind and helpful. Nursing and therapy made all the difference."

"My experience at Crystal Care of Coal Grove has been fantastic. The staff are nice and involved. I was able to get great rehab services and go home. The food could be improved slightly but they did make things special order for me. I would recommend."

"My mother has been a patient of Harbor Healthcare of Ironton since March 2021. Over the course of her time there, my mother has received the upmost care from all of the employees. Every employee that interacts with my mother always strives to make her feel comfortable and cared for. It isn't just medical staff that shows my mother good care and hospitality. It is everyone from the administration team, housekeeping, and the food service employees. Over the course of my mother's time at Harbor Healthcaare, I have always had a great relationship with the employees. They have always been attentive to my concerns as well as my mother's needs. I always feel that I can go to someone with my questions and concerns and I am confident that they will do everything in their power to help my mother or myself. My experience, as well as my mother's experience with Harbor Healthcare has been stellar since day one. We have great respect and a great relationship with all the employees at the facility. I am greatful for each and every employee and their dedication to the well-being of their patients in Ironton. I wll be forever greatful for the love, care and compassion they have shown and continue to show my mother. Respectfully, Kimbely Royal"

"I have several family members with special needs, and sometimes it can be quite overwhelming to make sure what kind of care that they are receiving. My Aunt Jeanette, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's years ago, and has been bed ridden for the last two. Up until recently, she lived with her husband (My Uncle) but unfortunately he is becoming too old and brittle to take care of her. Since I live hours away and have a very busy work schedule, there was no way I could help as much as I would like. So as a family, we made the decision to put her in a nursing home. We choose Russell's, because it wasn't very far from her home, and it is a smaller facility, making it feel like more of a comfortable home. We wanted a small facility, so that she could get used to the staff instead of introducing new people to her every day, risking confusion for her. The staff is incredibly friendly, helpful, and cooperative with my Aunt's needs. We never have to worry if she is getting mistreated, or not getting properly nourished. They provide her with sufficient meals throughout the day, and really try to get her up and let her ride in her wheel chair to the recreation area, instead of just letting her lye in the bed and die. Every time that I visit, the facility is very clean, and has a pleasant smell, unlike other's I have saw. I am continually impressed, and hope they keep up the good work. "
