The staff was outstanding. Every person was kind and willing to serve me. The cleaning staff and nurse assistant worked together yo achieve one goal, to serve you. The nursing staff was phenomenal. The physical therapy staff is outstanding. Always willing to work with you to get you strength stronger. I would say the food was not good.

Three employees really stand out as far as care is concerned. Jeanetta, Wendy and Hanna were great to work with. If I needed help with something they were right there. I didn’t like the food at all so I had my wife bring me what I liked. The room was great too. And I made friends there

How many words would I choose to describe The Laurels of Athens? Comforting, friendly and clean. Knowledgeable. The nurses and aides make every effort to make sure your needs are met and always with a smile. Shower? No problem. PB &J snack? No problem. Extra pillows? No problem.. Your own bathroom just steps from your bed. Or need the bed pan at 2 AM. OK! The Laurels of Athens is a wise choice. Physical Traning on site (hint- the "mean PT" is actually a pussy cat).I am happy to go home but I will miss The Laurels. They get an A+ in my book

My mother broke her hip and lived at the Laurels for several months for rehab. Everyone ranging from the nurses, PT and OT, to the custodial staff were professional, loving, and showered my mother with kindness. She would not have been able to go back home had it not been for this fantastic facility with such wonderful people. They truly became her family for the few months she was there!

I was surprised by the Laurel’s. My loved one doesn’t do nights very well at new places. The Stna Ashley was wonderful. She works nights and made him feel safe and cared for. All the staff was nice. I was surprised by how much the Nursing staff cared, even about the little things. And the housekeeping staff, always had smiles even when cleaning the bathroom. I’m recommending this place to everyone I know.
