Gilmer Care Center

Joni

My mother is in Gilmer Nursing & Rehabilitation for about a month now. It's very clean and smells fresh when you go in. That was a big selling point. The nurses are very kind and patient with her and they're willing to speak to me on the phone if I can't get by there, and she's getting really good care. She's in a private room. She's private pay for the first month until we can get assistance. It's very nice that it's cleaned once a day. They check her bed four or five times a day. It's nice and roomy, there's plenty of storage for her things, even if she does go into a room with a roommate, the rooms are a nice size, so they're not crowded together. It's convenient. My son lives less than a block away. It's not that far from me. It's easy in, easy out. Most of the time she says the food is good. Sometimes, of course, anything's off, especially in her situation. From what I've seen, the food looks really good and appetizing, and I think it's seasoned well. They have activities, they make a little snack before lunch and they do that three days a week. They offer bingo and the beauty salon is closed due to the COVID, but they offer a lot for her to do if she wants to.
