Nursing home is closing
We as a community should be devistated by the loss of Emporia Rehab. Ask any resident, any family member, any staff member where they would want a loved one. The answer is always the same, ERC. I was proud to be a staff nurse there and work with a team of competent and considerate staff who always had the residents well being in mind. Yes, it wasnt always the prettiest, but a wise man once told me "Pretty walls dont take care of people." If you want to know the truth about what the state survey said, look it up on the CMS website, ERC has nothing to hide. The staff should be proud: They took a facility with multiple care issues and turned it into a facility with very few care issues.
I think the city of Emporia has gotten thier morals and values COMPLETELY SCREWED UP. We should be morning the loss of our residents homes and the loss of thier friends and loved ones that have cared for them for years. Not bashing a facility based off half truthes and full fledged lies.
Beware of half truths, you may be hanging on to the wrong half...
