I miss going there, visiting my mom, all the nurses on the 1st floor were amazing! They all were outstanding in helping my mom. Bless all y'all!

"Mom always has good things to say about the staff, the food, and the friends she has made, like her roommate Betty. My sisters and I are happy that Mom is so content and receives the care she needs both at The Laurels and at Maplewood of Sandy Creek."

Thank you for all of your support during my Grandma's stay at your building. The activities department and nursing staff were amazing. We can't thank you all enough for all you have done.

We had a wonderful experience here. Staff kept us informed of progress and plans, and they always had a smile and a fresh cup of coffee waiting for me when I came to visit.

This is my second time here. I really like the staff. They were very nice and pleasant. My recovery was fast, and I would recommend this place to my friends and family.

Therapy has been a blessing, a breath of fresh air. I look forward to it every morning.

Clarence, a recent guest at The Laurels, is happy to be back in Branch County after an eventful return from Florida in April. One afternoon, after receiving chemotherapy for lung cancer in Jackson, Clarence suffered a stroke while doing yard work. Shortly after the stroke, Clarence was transferred to the Laurels for rehab to rebuild his strength. Clarence and his favorite therapist, Penny, meet each morning around 6AM, which Clarence states he enjoys because "it gets my day going, and she really works me good, then I can go on with my day." He's now able to walk again, with the assistance of his of his walker, and is getting stronger each day.

Clarence has rebuilt enough strength to resume his chemotherapy and is overjoyed to be returning home to his wife, Elaine. The couple will celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary in July and are looking forward to being able to resume helping their children with the campground they own in Leonidas and tending to their garden together.

The staff is great. They encourage him and help him to feel happy since he has the kind of dementia that makes it easy to be sad. I am grateful for this. If he is happy, I am happy. He is safe here. That is big.
