“My dear friend is staying at The Springs of Greers Ferry. The facility is absolutely clean; staff are very nice and helpful; hallways are decorated. If something happened to me, I would definitely want to stay there. I've seen plenty of nursing homes over the years, but this one is THE BEST I've ever encountered. You guys keep up the GREAT WORK!! ”

★★★★★Kim Horton · 2024-11-22 · via Google
“We love the care our mom has gotten at the Springs. We go and are always welcomed with smiles. I live out of state and it is such a relief knowing I can call and get information anytime. I have dropped in unannounced and have always been pleased with the cleanliness and care given. They also let us know promptly if there are health concerns. Thank you all!!!”
