Edenized Facility
Gilmer Nursing Home is considered one of the highest rated nursing home in the State. The "edenizing" model has been implemented. Residents enjoy a home-like atmosphere with freedom to decorate their rooms to suit their individual taste. Halls and public areas are filled with live plants. There are three different bird aviaries, a goldfish pond, and a resident cat named ?Bo jangles?. Other animals come for visits on a regular basis. Residents are able to tend their individual vegetable garden or flower garden.

Meal time is a great time for socializing. The dinning room has been redecorated to reflect the name - "Southern Charm Café", complete with tables set for four using table cloths and flowers. Residents are served restaurant style, which has proved to increase appetites as well as socialization during meals.
