I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the care that Herandy Flores provides to my mother and other residents.<br><br>Over the time that she has cared for my mother, I have consistently observed her treating residents with humility, kindness, patience, and respect. She is pleasant, soft-spoken, attentive, and quick to respond when residents need assistance.<br><br>What stands out most is her willingness to go above and beyond her basic responsibilities. She takes the time to ensure that residents are clean, comfortable, and treated with dignity. She patiently assists residents with meals, sits with them when needed, listens to them, and provides care with genuine compassion.<br><br>In my mother’s case, I have observed the exceptional attention she gives to personal care. She is thorough, gentle, and attentive in ways that make a meaningful difference in my mother’s comfort and well-being. It is clear that she cares not only about completing tasks but also about the people she serves.<br><br>As a family member who spends considerable time at the facility, I have had the opportunity to observe many caregivers. Herandy consistently demonstrates professionalism, dedication, and genuine concern for residents. Her work reflects the qualities that families hope to find in those entrusted with the care of their loved ones.<br><br>I wanted to make sure her efforts do not go unnoticed and that administration is aware of the positive impact she has on residents and their families.<br><br>Thank you for your attention.<br><br>Sincerely,<br><br>Mina Shah

Nazarethville is a special place with such caring staff. My mom is a resident here and her CNA, Randy, is outstanding. She genuinely cares about my mom and has a smile on her face even doing daily tasks for her like bathroom and showering. I’ve witnessed her care many times and she is always kind and helpful. She makes sure my mom is warm and comfy, and her DVD player and hearing aids are charged and ready. These little things make a difference.Randy talks to her like a person and a friend. She is great with check-ins and meals and activities. I can’t express how much peace this gives us knowing Randy is there for my mom. Lala is another CNA who helps her get ready for bed and is kind too. We have also had wonderful experiences working with Jane, who handles the finances, and Noemi, who helped us with admissions. Gerald the administrator has said we can contact him anytime and he has always been responsive and caring as well. We are so happy she is well cared for here.

My sister and I are truly blessed to have found such an amazing facility for our Mom’s rehab after fracturing her femur. Every person that we have met or dealt with at Ascension Nazarethville Place has been so kind , thoughtful and supportive!!! We could not ask for a better environment for her to rehabilitate at and provide long term care if necessary. Thanks for ALL YOU DO!!!

My mom recently broke her hip after her hospital stay we selected Nazarethville for her month of Rehabilitation. Myself and my siblings were so grateful for this place , Rebecca and Liz took great care of our 88 year old mother. My mother was very pleased especially for Rebecca’s kindness. I was grateful for the ease of intake. Noemi walked me through all the procedures and what to expect. If I ever have to go through rehab myself this is the place I’ll go to. The intake , the nurses, the therapists, the pastor, the activities director and even the laundry girl were Great ! Kudos !

My mother was recently at the hospital and upon intake the nurses taking care of her asked me where she lived. I told her Nazarethville nursing home and they were amazed that she was coming from a nursing home because she was so well taken care of. They said they almost never see anyone in such good physical condition coming from a nursing home. I should also add that Nazarethville takes good care of my mom not only physically, but mentally and spiritually as well. We feel blessed to have found this place.
