This is a great facility for your loved ones to be a part of. I have been to many facilities, but this is one by far.The best there is no odor and is thoroughly clean. I had someone with me and they said the first thing they noticed the facility did not have a smell. That is called a spirit of excellence. The staff is very professional and they're loving, not just to the patients but to your entire family. This is what you call teamwork.Everybody has the same mannerism, loving and enthusiastic.
My time at Cherry Blossom Nursing Home has been a meaningful chapter in my life. The staff, with a few exceptions, have been kind, helpful, and attentive. Most of them genuinely care and do their best every day. There were a couple moments where things didn’t go quite right, but overall, I’ve been treated with respect and compassion. One person who has truly stood out is the administrator. No matter how busy the day is, they always seem to have time for me. Whether it's just to talk, check in, or share a prayer, their presence has made a real difference in my journey. Thanks to the care and support I’ve received here, I’m now preparing to move on to an assisted living facility, a step I wouldn’t have been ready for without the foundation Cherry Blossom provided. I leave with gratitude in my heart.
Living at Cherry Blossom Nursing Home has truly been a blessing in my life. From the moment I arrived, I felt not just welcomed, but loved. The people here aren’t just staff, they’re family. Every nurse, aide, and caretaker treats us with such kindness, respect, and patience. They don’t rush us, and they’re always ready with a smile, a gentle touch, or a listening ear. What really makes this place special, though, is the heart behind it all. The caregivers here are truly servants at heart, kind, gentle souls who go above and beyond every day. Whether it’s helping us get dressed, bringing us our meals with care, or just sitting with us and chatting for a while, they treat us like we matter, and that means the world.
We’ve (Vision NATP) been coming here for over 7 yrs. I love the family like atmosphere. They care abt the residents 😊 The Administrator Linton is really cool 😎‼️ I Look forward to bringing my students here for their clinicals 😊
Great place! Very caring and they really make the place so beautiful and decorated. I feel so thankful that my loved one is here.
