My friend was here for a couple of weeks before dying. Although the staff was friendly, they did not understand the timing of her death or her level of pain.

Our Mom was only at Gerstenberg Center for 2 days, but during her stay we were very impressed with the nursing staff, especially Mary, who were compassionate and caring and anticipated Mom's needs. The food looked good, what little I saw. The staff were very nice and informative to us. It's a very quiet, peaceful place. I highly recommend this center.

It is apparent that they have taken the time to put themselves in your shoes and I am sure some have even experienced this themselves. It is heart breaking watching my fa... read more
