Florence Nursing Home has a staff that always seems happy to help, smiling and being kind to everyone, whether it's a resident, a visitor, or someone working there. The place feels warm and relaxed, with a comfortable Bed & Breakfast atmosphere and a focus on treating people with respect and dignity without making things too fancy. Meals are home-cooked and made by chefs and meal planners who work with a licensed nutritionist, so the food's got good taste, balance, and uses quality ingredients. The facility stays clean, and they're licensed, so everything's up to standard. Seniors who need help with things like bathing, dressing, or taking their medicine get support, and those who have Alzheimer's or other types of dementia can stay in a special memory care area designed to stop confusion and prevent wandering, with therapies to help as much as possible. Nursing care is available at any hour, day or night, for folks with health problems both physical and mental. They also offer both short-term and long-term care, so if someone just needs to stay a few days or two weeks to recover after being in the hospital, that's possible, and if long-term skilled nursing is needed, there's support around the clock. Residents can get therapy services like physical, occupational, or speech therapy, and there are activities planned every day and week to keep people engaged. The staff has built a strong culture of friendliness and always aims to provide care that feels professional, skilled, and truly caring.

Run-down facility, inconsistent but caring
I have mixed feelings. The facility is run-down and often dirty, bedding and rooms go unchecked, and nursing/desk staff can be unresponsive or distracted - care feels minimal, communication is poor, and the place seems understaffed. That said, a few caregivers (Kathy, Katie and others) are loving, hardworking and create a home-like atmosphere when they're on duty. Overall it's inconsistent; unless you're lucky with staff on shift, I'd seriously consider home care as a healthier option.
