My best friend of over 40yrs was there after being in a WORSE facility in another part of town. The first time he was there he had another stroke and was taken back to the hospital. When his clothing, snacks, bedding, supplies and false teeth were asked for we were told they would try to find them. We were able to get some of the things back. His 2nd visit there I was accused of bringing him jello shots! It was jello pudding cups from Walmart. I was constantly being watched and they found every excuse they could find to get him out to the nurses station so they could ask him why I was visiting. I should say we were different genders & race but why should that matter. He had another stroke, went back to the hospital and again, most of his belongings were (Lost).<br>The facility smelled, I never saw anyone come to do vitals or med checks. I rarely had to sign in. It seemed alot of the residents that smoked spent most of their time in the parking garage. I can't blame them. I post this now because my friend has passed. Why didn't I take him in my home? I didn't have power of attorney.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the care and compassion my mother-in-law received at Greenbrier at the Altamont. From the moment she arrived, the staff made her feel welcomed, respected, and truly cared for. Every nurse, aide, and team member went above and beyond to ensure her comfort and well-being.<br>The facility itself is clean, peaceful, and well-maintained, but what truly sets Greenbrier apart is the people. They treated her like family — with kindness, patience, and professionalism. Communication with our family was excellent, and we always felt informed and supported throughout her stay.<br>It’s never easy to entrust a loved one to someone else’s care, but Greenbrier made that decision feel right. We are deeply grateful for the exceptional service and heartfelt attention they provided. Highly recommend to anyone seeking skilled nursing care with a personal touch!

When I tell you I'm totally impressed by the staff and my dad just arrived for his days of rehab. They got my daddy being independent on day one eating and he started to feel and look better already.

My experience at Greenbriar was amazing, the Director of Nursing was so reassuring, she made communication easy and was always available to speak with me when I was there visiting. The previous reviews are not what I witnessed and not my experience.

About this data
How to read this page
Star ratings vs. Care Quality Score: The Google star rating reflects visitor and family opinions collected from public reviews. The Care Quality Score is an independent metric derived entirely from federal inspection data — the two measure different things, and comparing them side-by-side gives a fuller picture.
Where this data comes from
All clinical data on this page originates from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the federal agency that certifies and inspects every Medicare- and Medicaid-participating nursing home in the United States. Reviews are imported verbatim from public Google business listings.
What to do next
Data is a starting point, not a final answer. We encourage families to visit facilities in person, observe daily routines, and speak with staff and residents. See our guide: Questions to Ask When Visiting →
