Nurse Ilais has been a blessing to our family. During an emotional and overwhelming time, she has consistently shown kindness, professionalism, and genuine concern for my father’s well-being. She treats him as a person, not just a patient, and always takes the time to communicate with our family in a thoughtful and respectful way. What stands out most is that Ilais truly goes the extra mile for both patients and their loved ones. When my father was first admitted, I was overwhelmed and in tears. Ilais met me with such empathy and understanding. In that difficult moment, her compassion meant more than she probably realizes, and it is something I will never forget. She also takes the time to remember family members’ names and greets us personally when we visit. It may seem like a small thing, but it makes people feel seen, welcomed, and cared for during a very stressful time. Her presence and professionalism have made a lasting impression on us. Healthcare professionals like Ilais are rare, and we are deeply thankful for everything she has done for my father. When families are trusting others with the care of someone they love, people like Ilais make all the difference. Thank you, Ilais, for the exceptional care, kindness, and humanity you bring to your work every day. Our family will always be grateful. In a healthcare setting, skill is important, but compassion is priceless. Ilais has both. She has made one of the hardest seasons of our lives a little easier, and that’s something that cannot be taught. Employees like Ilais are incredibly hard to find. The impact she has on patients and families deserves to be celebrated, recognized, and rewarded! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our Mother was in rehabilitation for three weeks. The team is phenomenal, caring, kind and patient. She didn't want to leave and return home once she was well enough to be discharged. This team has made an incredible impact on each of our lives. We are so grateful.

Great r experiences all during my short stay (6 weeks) at Cedar Rehabilitation Center. It started with the pairing with my very good roommate Rich, and continued with the very professional staff through out my rehab process to going home. With each step the personnel were very knowledgeable about my particular needs and care. They were always concerned with my wellbeing and safety. I will miss them all.

Cedar Healthcare Center is phenomenal! My mother was brought there straight from the hospital recovering from kidney failure & sepsis. Cedar Healthcare Center not only nursed her back to good health there incredible staff also provided a caring environment while doing so! Christi Balloch Director of Social Services was also crucial in keeping my family in the loop with daily updates while I worked on getting there from the other side of the country. Thank you for your incredible work!
