Overall pleased with the care my grandfather recieved. He wasn't there long, but I'm convinced he went peacefully. My grandfather was there from the middle of October to the middle of November before he passed away from his illnesses. The staff were really supportive with the emotional rollercoaster experience this was!!!! So thank you from the N******* F**** family ?

We would like to thank your staff for the compassionate care you all gave Marie during her final months. Not only did you help her, but also us. Being available if there were any concerns, giving comfort to our hearts knowing that she was being well taken care of, helping us spiritually and making the transition much easier for all of us.

A special shout-out to Correctionville Specialty Care for allowing us to have a drive thru wedding ceremony and incorporate my grandma Betty! Also, for the window decorations, photos, video, and even baking sheet cakes for the residents! I will be forever grateful.

I can't say enough about the staff! The P/T staff were incredible and so helpful. They really worked my butt off with outstanding results. The kitchen staff prepared the most amazing meals. I loved all the aides that helped out, you all really go the extra mile for everyone. I really want to thank all the employees at Avoca [Specialty Care]. They even let you have your family dog visit. Thanks again and I'll see you all soon to come back and polish nails for residents.
