Resident & family reviews
I have been remiss in not writing this sooner, but I want to give a shout-out to this facility. My mother was in GHCC for about three years before her death in October of 2012 at the age of 97. She was on the 3rd floor, and we were happy with her care in all aspects. They were respectful, kind, and considerate, and since my mother was blind, this was especially pleasing to her family. The food was good, the service was excellent, facilities were well-maintained, and the family was involved. She was a Medicaid patient, but we never felt that she was given any less care than a full paying patient. All in all, you helped make her last years much more pleasant for her and for us. Thank you so much!
