    Review

    Truman Lake Manor emerges in these reflections as a place of profound contrasts: for many families, it is a sanctuary of care and comfort in the hardest moments, while a few voices raise concerns that touch on administration, staffing, and operations. Taken together, the messages paint a portrait of a facility that a broad swath of the community associates with compassionate, attentive, and professional service - especially in end-of-life moments - yet one that some feel has room for improvement in governance, communication, and certain day-to-day realities.

    A common thread across several posts is the sense of extraordinary care during a family member's final days. One review describes how the administrator, supervisors, and the entire staff "went above and beyond" for a sister-in-law, with CNA's and nurses repeatedly checking in on the family throughout the day. The call to action accompanying that praise - an insistence that people donate to Truman Lake activities in lieu of flowers - speaks to a deep gratitude and a wish to sustain the supportive environment that families felt. The sentiment is echoed in another powerful note from a husband who says, "Our family is forever grateful for the exceptional care my wife received at Truman Lake Manor. Tim and the entire staff went above and beyond in her final days, showing compassion, kindness, and professionalism that brought comfort to both her and our family." He labels them "the nicest people" and suggests the family owes them a debt of love for the care provided.

    Beyond end-of-life care, other reviewers speak highly of ongoing, everyday support for loved ones. A family with parents currently residing at the manor emphasizes that the staff "truly cares about each patient," is available to answer questions, and is knowledgeable about next steps. They note the facility's cleanliness and practical aspects - while not fancy, it is "kept very clean," and the father has noticed the kitchen's nutrition, with his dad even gaining weight. Social and spiritual offerings - concerts and church services - are highlighted as blessings that contribute to a sense of community and well-being for residents.

    Several entries underscore a broader sense of gratitude for the overall culture of care. One writer mentions being treated like family and expresses a wish to be cared for there when their time comes, praising the staff as "awesome" and thanking them for heartfelt, meaningful service. Another note thanks a specific staff member by name and extends Easter greetings and appreciation to Paul Stafford, underscoring the positive, personal connections that residents and families form with staff members who demonstrate kindness and dedication.

    Yet, alongside these affirmations, there are pointed criticisms and negative experiences that reflect real frustrations with the facility's leadership, operations, or specific interactions. One outspoken reviewer declares, "What a horrible facility keeping loved ones away. Shame on you Timothy Corbin. NASTY!!!" Such statements illustrate that not all experiences align with the favorable narratives, and they remind readers that concerns about how loved ones are managed and cared for can become heated and personal.

    There are also harsher, more sensational critiques that reference staff behavior in more alarming terms. A post pronounces, "Do not work here!! Narcissistic tendencies at its finest!!!!" and another criticizes "one of the employees, she's short, blonde and has curly hair, and weird ugly lashes. I've heard she's on drugs and I don't feel comfortable with her working around our loved ones. She is completely incompetent?" While these remarks are not presented as objective judgments, they reflect a climate in which family members feel compelled to voice serious concerns about specific individuals and the overall safety and professionalism of staff.

    Operational and financial concerns appear in at least one account focused on payroll. A reviewer who feels strongly about this issue reports that "the payroll staff person has been the worst as far as sending in child support payments," describing delays of two to three months and expressing frustration with having to repeatedly contact authorities to prompt action. The owner's promise to look into the matter is noted, but the persistence of the problem is what stands out in the narrative, highlighting how administrative hiccups can color the overall perception of care, even when clinical staff are doing well in other respects.

    There are also briefer notes that acknowledge less-than-rosy realities without centering on specific individuals. A comment simply notes that the facility can smell bad, yet the staff remains friendly, offering a reminder that environments in long-term care can present sensory challenges even when personnel are kind and the care is good in other respects. And there are enduring, positive testimonials about longer-term residents: "My mother has been at Truman Lake, many years, and has received the best care; she is treated like family; the complete staff are awesome; when my time comes, I hope to be cared for there." The closing sentiment - "Awesome?many heartfelt thanks" - leaves the reader with a sense of lasting gratitude that extends across years and generations of family life.

    Taken together, these messages present a complex, multi-faceted picture of Truman Lake Manor. For many families, the care during life's most challenging moments has been deeply reassuring: compassionate staff, genuine warmth, and a supportive environment that honors both patients and their loved ones. For others, there are significant concerns about management, transparency, and consistency - issues that reflect the real tensions that can exist in any care setting. The collection of stories emphasizes that a patient's experience at this facility is shaped not only by clinical outcomes but by the daily presence, communication, and character of the people who staff and administer the home.
