My mom was here for a short time to do rehabilitation after a fall. She loved the staff so much that it made me feel less worried about her. Everyone was very nice and genuinely seemed to care about the patients. I would recommend them to anyone in need of a loving environment for someone they care about.

Everyone at Chautauqua took great care of my mother and I appreciate everything they did to make her feel comfortable during her stay. I couldn't have found a better place for her to live during her time there. I feel like we have expanded our family! Love everyone there! 5+ Stars! Highly recommend!

My Dad lived there for just a short time before he suddenly passed away. Every person we met was kind, caring and compassionate. This was across the board from ALL the departments. I would list them all but someone would get left out. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your care to my Dad... I never worried when he was there but more importantly, he was happy too. I appreciate you all being there in our time of need!

She’s receiving excellent care, and it’s comforting to know she’s in good hands.
