Many reviews highlight the exceptional care and dedication seen at this facility, particularly praising the staff's compassion, professionalism, and the overall quality of care provided to veterans. The facility is celebrated for its events, such as the MVH Bangor Classic Car BBQ, and its strong support from the community and military organizations.

Several reviewers express their personal satisfaction with the care their family members received, emphasizing the respectful and admirable treatment of veterans. The facility's efforts in providing a comforting and supportive space for both veterans and their families during challenging times are also commended.
However, one review raises concerns about the management and training of the nursing staff in the dementia unit, suggesting a need for improvement in the care of patients with dementia, Alzheimer’s, and PTSD.
