My mother was a resident in the rehab department. The Nurses, Therapist and cleaning staff were excellent, but understaffed; which caused residents to have to wait when needed. There is lack of communications between Nurses, Therapist, Social Workers and administration. Very difficult to get in touch with staff, would not return calls and nursing staff had voicemail, but did not have a code to receive the messages. When registering my mother, was told of her food allergy to fish; and they served her fish 3 days later. Tried calling and could not get a person, so emailed with no answer. Upon leaving set up home health for the Medical Power of Attorney's address instead of the resident's address. Her PCP called and requested to bring her discharge papers to her Post release visit; because it was hard to get discharge papers from them or get someone to answer the phone. Very clean facility.

Chatham Nursing and Rehab Center is a wonderful facility. My mother is a resident there and the staff works hard to try to make her, and all the residents feel cared for and comfortable. There are always activities available to keep residents active and stimulated. The physical therapy department has done a great job getting my mother more mobile after her hip fracture. The dietary department has a great variety of food and is always doing fun refreshments and meals for birthdays, holidays, and special occasions. The facility is clean and decorated close to a regular home. I have been impressed with Chatham and would highly recommend it.

Chatham Nursing and Rehab was very caring and professional. They cared for my father in law in his last days and Chatham was full of compassion. I couldn’t ask for better, I would recommend this facility, to anyone looking for placement for a beloved family member/friend.

My dad was sent there in Aug 2024. After many failed attempts with other places this facility has went above and beyond to make sure he is happy. He enjoys the food, sleeps better, on less medication and healthier, and getting taken care of like he is family. The Administrator and DON really put in the effort to ensure the patients receive the highest level of care even if they take care of it themselves. The DON really keeps in contact with me on a regular basis regarding my dad and really listens to my dad's concerns. Overall I would definitely recommend this facility. My dad has been to 4 facilities since Feb 2022 and this is the best by far!!
