State Rep. Jon Burns and Melissa Waller of Effingham Care Center visited about long-term care issues after the annual Veterans Day ceremony in Springfield.

Burns was very complimentary about the care center’s efforts.

“This is a beautiful day, and the Effingham Care Center is a wonderful facility,” he said. “It makes me proud when someone from  another area of the state knows about Effingham and the award-winning care provided for our  senior citizens.”

Effingham Care Center is a five-star nursing home (CMS designation) in Springfield, adjacent to Veterans Park.
