Resident & family reviews
My mother has been at AGNC for almost a year and is pleased with the facility, staff and services. She especially enjoys the companionship of other seniors and is always commenting on the "terrific" meals. AGNC is accommodating in all regards and we would recommend this facility for long term care.

This is the worst nursing home I've ever seen. The employees in the office are horrible and very rude. The residents get treated horribly and I wouldn't take my dog there.
