My mother is in the Altoona Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, and the facility itself is nice. Her room is a little on the small side, but the food is fine. And the staff we've dealt with helped when we were admitting my mom.

A good friend of mine was admitted there recently. She has since passed away. If you or a loved one is looking for a nursing facility i would NOT recommend this one. I dont know if they're short staffed or what but when my friend needed someone to help her it took them a LONG TIME for someone to come see what she needed. Then theyd leave to go get whatever and they'd once again be gone for the longest time. I had to go hunt someone down several times and then nobody wanted to help. The food was terrible and many nites shed go without because she couldnt eat what theyd served plis she had stomach issues. If she requested just some toast theyd be gone a half hour and when she would finally get it it was cold. I personally would not recommend this nursing facility. She shared a room with another resident and her area where her bed was was nothing more than a cubbyhole basically no bigger than a large closet
