Our mom is staying here to get through healing & physical therapy from her fall. He has a fractured collarbone-femur. We are only on day one but the staff has already shown signs of caring for her. The facility is really clean and no issues with smell that you would expect. She would like a television so maintenance will be installing anytime now. We appreciate them making her three meals a day and helping her regain strength. As her stay happens I will give updates. Overall wonderful facility & kind employees. They try to make it as comfortable as possible. Close to gasoline & the interstate as well. Private and secluded.
My mother has received therapy at the Dunbar Genesis facility. She completed two sessions today and has made great progress since admission. Staff has been very helpful and she has benefited from the three balanced meals she has received. Her medical condition has improved greatly and she will soon be ready to move to assisted living. I am very pleased with the care she has received.
My father received excellent care while at Gensis in Dunbar. The staff is very friendly and kind. They know the residents by name and are caring and patient. Every person I came into contact with was responsive and helpful. Several staff members have worked there for over 10 years, that speaks for itself. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Dunbar center.
All the staff were very professional and friendly. Facility was clean and comfortable
