deplorable, where to begin????we can start with the so called memory assessment test, does a politician think they deserve to be re-elected?plenty of cobwebs, missing trim and chipped paint greet you, and there are plenty enough dead bugs in the light fixtures to keep a biology class busy for two semesters at least.seldom have so many rude people been assembled under one roof, they even have their very own in house nurse Ratchet. they borderline on abusive. unless you happen to be the one writing the check, even though its not their money, that makes you royalty.the food is usually burnt beyond anything recognizable, fortunately plenty of time lapses before it gets to the memory care side to be even remotely warm.residents are left in the same clothes day and night for 3 to 5 days at a time, which matches the bathing schedule and that lines up with the bathroom cleaning times as well as the laundry.the difference between the memory care side and the assisted living side is more money and a locked door.our loved one has spent his first 86 years of life free from an emergency room visit. in his first 2 months there he has been twice to the emergency room, once for blood clots on his lungs due in large part to a complete change to a sedentary lifestyle, the second due to extreme dehydration, all under the auspicious, diligent 24 hour care of the obviously highly trained staff.we had nothing to do with putting him there, nor can we remove him even for a great grandchild's birthday party.as our loved one says, whoever put him there should also have to live there.the only thing yall take seriously is the check from the family member not living there miss trisha. i have pointed out several failings, check them out if you can fit it into your busy schedule,

I've worked at this facility for over 4 years now, several employees have been here longer than I have and others have been here for a few years as well. Which, in this profession I would say is a pretty great turn-over rate. It takes a patient, kind, and humble human being to work at an assisted-living or (the nursing field in general) and I feel like Osceola's homestead has hit the jackpot with employees!Our residents are our number one priority and we definitely go above and beyond for them. It's a great facility, and if it came down to it, I would want one of my loved ones to live here because I would know that they would be well taken care of. (Also, can't wait to receive my Homestead fleece!)

It has been awhile since I have had the time to leave a review. My mother has been here for 3 years. It was one of the hardest decisions we had to make. Once we came we were welcomed with open arms. Kerri is one of the greatest nurses there is, she was on top of my moms evaluation and approved her to come. Michelle, the director, made so many changes to my moms room just so she would be comfortable and feel more like at home. The staff are all amazing! I have nothing but praise and admiration for them when they are caring for my mother.Bonnie, Chastity, Stephanie, Ashton, Jada, Alicia, Ally, Amanda, Heather, Sammy, Maggie, Jessica, Luke and Sophia. I hope I didn’t leave a single one of you out! I make it a point to make these people my family! Right down to the fix it man Greg, from the people who have their hands in her care, to the ones who clean her room and cook her fabulous meals!This year was a rough year for us. My mom became very sick and had to be hospitalized for almost 3 months. The staff sent flowers or called to check in to brighten her day until we returned. The activities is what keeps her alive and she loves to go to them! They even made it possible for her to go to the movies!! Stephaine made her favorite meal for her the night we returned and Michelle had me sit and eat with her and everyone came to welcome us home. My daughter gets to come visit and stay with her grandma and they treat her like family and mom loves to have her there every minute. I am so lucky to have Homestead and all these wonderful people to help me take care of her I would literally be lost without all of them.Thank you from the bottom of my Heart for all you do!Salowa Deemer

I have worked here for 5 years. There are things everyone complains about at every job, but at the end of the day, we are family; staff & tenants. Most of the staff has been here for many years & that says a lot I think when it comes to this profession. I see these people more than I see my own grandparents, but love them JUST THE SAME. I’m so happy to be a part of their clan. ??

I love my oldies & my coworkers! 3 years in service here, and I have the best boss around, Stephanie Whitten you're a Rockstar! Although, we are a bit dramatic! Lol
