Eaglecrest Retirement Community in Salina, KS

1.3
They go above and beyond for their residents and families. A lot of long term employees. Their food and activities are the best in town, hands down.

Brookdale Salina Kirwin

5.0
The staff worked hard to overcome difficulties that they encountered about the time Mom moved in (frozen water pipes, the cook quit, and the maintenance man left). The staff works hard to show respect to the residents and make them feel that this is their home.

Cedarhurst of Salina
