Resident & family reviews
I think NHC healthcare Town & Country is the bees knees. The workers are all kind and care about the people that they care for. There is no hint of phoniness like other places. Just real people working to provide care for people in need. Thanks for everything! My mom, Annette Neuroth was treated like a queen, and I saw her actually walk for the first time in a long time. Because the people helping her cared about her.
