They kept giving him pain medicine when I called down there the nurse hung up in my face. Finally, after telling them, I was gonna come down and pick him up and take him to the hospital myself. They transported him almost too late. Residents hav…”
★Jennifer Due · 2024-08-07 · via Google“I do not recommend taking your loved ones here. Save yourself the tears and guilt. I found my loved one in a very sad state that I will never forget. And I do have experience with other nursing homes. Groveton nursing home would never treat a patient like that.”
★★★★★JoAnna Simpson · 2019-12-05 · via Google“My mother was here for a short term rehab stay and loved it. Eula the administrator was so pleasant and friendly as was the staff. It was always clean and smelled good when I would visit. My mother loved the food too and actually gained several pounds during her stay, which was good. We would both highly recommend in Lufkin.”
