My Mom was in Chestelm for a little over 4 weeks. The staff there is like one big happy family and they care for all residents like they are part of that family. I am thankful to everyone who works there for the care they gave Mom. Such great people!

Our mom/mother-in-law resided at Chestelm for 2 1/2 years and we cannot say enough about the care she received, whether upstairs while she was more independent or on the main floor as her medical needs increased. From front office admin/social work support to nursing/CNA/rehab care to dietary/meal preparation and serving to recreational therapy/entertainment/hairdressing to housekeeping/laundry/maintenance, our mom received professional, competent and respectful care in a friendly environment with an emphasis on preserving her dignity. They kept her stimulated and involved by encouraging her to take part in the many activities offered. Recently, when our mom’s health was failing, Chestelm thoughtfully guided us through what turned out to be a very supportive and dignified process. We will always be grateful for this and highly recommend Chestelm.

Our family had a wonderful experience at Chestelm while my father was there for short-term rehab. The transition from the hospital was seamless, and the staff treated him with dignity and patience. From the nurses to the therapists, everyone was professional and genuinely caring. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands during his recovery. Highly recommend
