We moved our dad here in January of this year. I have been so happy with the quality of care and cleanliness. All of the other families of the residents that I’ve met are all so kind. The food is excellent as well! I highly recommend Cumming Nursing Center for your loved one.
It's been a good experience.We chose Cameron Hall because it was not "all fluff". She doesn't need high ceilings and wide open spaces-too far to walk, and unnecessary. They spend their money on important things for residents, not "visuals" for the visitors. Very comfortable and home-like
Very nice facility. Friendly and caring staff. They made a point to know my father's name from day one. They were great at communicating with me as well.
