My Dad spent just short of 6 weeks in short term rehab at CM. He had outstanding care, and it was done with compassion, respect and dignity. He came out stronger than ever because of PT/OT and speech (Tammy, Kaitlyn and Anne). I want to especially recognize nurse Rachel and CNA Maria both on the short term rehab unit for their wonderful care of my Dad and myself, as a family member. I appreciated their kindness so much and it made a huge difference in a difficult and emotional time.

Our family is so thankful for the care our elder has received in the long term care dementia unit. Our loved one is happy, clean and the staff is supportive of our involved family. They helped make a difficult choice much easier by giving us peace of mind that she is well taken care of.

My father is currently at Catholic Memorial and I am so grateful for the care, professionalism, and attention he is getting. My father is very sick but his case manager, nurses, and Doctors are proactive in ordering tests and getting him the treatment he needs. He tells me that the women there take good care of him and baby him, and the food is really good. Much better than his previous rehab. I could not ask for more. His case manager Roseanna is honest and clear with me regarding his condition and mental state. I highly recommend Catholic Memorial for care of a loved one.
