My father has lived at this facility for 2 yrs. he suffered a quadruple by pass surgery. He needed assistance. after rehab. He is not the most easiest person to get alone w/. The staff and owner has done a great job working with him. You can't make someone do their therapy, (like anything you have to have a will. ) i spent an entire month every day with him encouraging him to make himself stronger in therapy -before he moved to EFC. People do not understand how hard it is to work with grownups. You cant make someone do something they don't want to do . As for food served- I have spent 3 nights 2 days at EFC once every 3-4 weeks. The res. eat a breakfast my father chooses cereal. They serve eggs, meat, biscuits etc. Dinner "meat and potatoes" type of dinner, at lunch time a light "sandwich" for dinner. I'm guessing its for digestion reasons. My father has gained more weight being here then a life time. He's healthy and has a T.V. to watch. He'll do therapy when he feels like it. He has the ability to go to smoke breaks this is important to a person who has smoked since he was 9 yrs. old. my father is a Vietnam Vet 2 tours USMC. I will agree its not the most fanciest place But they get the job done! I love my father very much and i check in often. Anywhere is BAD if its not home ,but they try very hard to show hospitality. The bed sheets are changed daily. close are washed the hung. Meds. are given and blood levels are taken. Thank you Rose D Venessa, Randell, Brenda S & Morgan! P.S. forgive me for name mis-spellings!

This is not a fancy place and don't let the older building/furnishings fool you! The staff is beyond awesome! My sister is ALWAYS clean and so is the facility! VERY IMPRESSED!

When you have a family member that has smoked since they were 15 and failed to save $$$ for their final years of life, you are faced with the difficult task of finding a facility they can afford and one that will allow them to smoke. Thank God for Extended Family Care in Manchester, Tn!!! No, it'a not the Ritz, but Rose and her staff have a heart for their patients which far exceeds the decor and surroundings. The patients and staff become a big family and carry each other's joys and sorrows each and every day. No one is forced to smoke, but going outside on the covered deck is like a social time for people to visit. The patients look forward to that time together whether they smoke or not. Regardless of how great a facility and staff are, there will always be those that find fault and are never pleased! Those that are so critical should walk in the steps of a caregiver for the elderly....would definitely sing a different tune! My family supports this facility, Rose, and her staff for all they do for their patients and families...God bless each of you!

This place is HORRIBLE. My grandmother has been there since March and at first we thought it was a great place for her. With caring staff and great care but recently there has been staff changes and it has gotten HORRIBLE. There under staffed. They have janitors doing jobs that are meant for CNA'S. They give them cereal for breakfast, orange kool-aid as juice, lots of days there supper is a sandwich. New nurse almost gave my grandmother someone else medicine. Thank God she knew that wasn't her's.

No dietitian, feed very small portion meals given kool-aid instead of juice or milk, Encourage clients to smoke, which they are charged for.. Teaches them to use a wheelchair instead of giving them physical therapy or occupational therapy .

This is the worse place I have ever visited. I can not wait to get my friend out. For lunch a piece of meat loaf, a spoon of peas and a glass of kool-aid. Teaching my friend to use a wheelchair verses physical therapy. This is not a good place for anyone that has any medical or physical needs.
