I cannot say enough wonderful things about this facility and the care my father received during his time of need. From the moment he arrived, the staff showed compassion, patience, and genuine kindness. They treated my father with dignity and respect while providing the support and attention he needed. The entire team went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable, safe, and cared for. Their professionalism, communication, and dedication gave our family peace of mind during a very difficult time. It was comforting to know that he was surrounded by people who truly cared. I am deeply grateful to the staff for the love, care, and support they provided to my father and our family. This facility is truly special, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place where their loved one will be treated like family.

Appalling! I can only speak to the nursing home part, my mother was there only briefly. The place physically, was appalling. She was 93 and medically needy and had both a trach and a G-tube. Once Medicare Would stoppaying after 30 days, her cost would've been $1000 a day. The room she stayed in was not yet refurbished, as the rest of the facility had been, and it looked like something out of the 1950s that had not been maintained. It was not fit for human life. The ceiling was peeling, there was caked up dirt in the radiator, the wallpaper was peeling, molding was missing from the ceiling. It was disgusting. I have pictures of it.The first day she got there from the hospital, she sat in her hospital gown, with her diaper, soaking wet for hours. I kept asking the nurse was anyone going to check her in. They kept saying yes somebody would be there soon. Finally, I spoke to the nursing manager, who apologized. The same type of attention followed her for her entire short stay, which was that the aides were non-attentive. I came early in the morning, 8 AM, and she was not changed from her diaper until 10:30 -11 AM , And only because I complained.She had worn that diaper all night. The trach machine When she had beenin the hospital had been very quiet. The trach machine that she was hooked up to there, sounded like an airplane landing. That place should be ashamed of itself, as should anybody associated with it. I had a friend who was in the Rehab part and although she did not like it and said the aides were not attentive, and the family had to hire a private duty person to help her, because she was younger and more able, she fared better. This is really elder abuse, and somebody should do an exposure on this place. My only message to anyone who puts their parent in a facility, such as this, and I understand needing to do so, is you should live around the corner from the place And visit constantly.

I had a wonderful experience with Friedwald Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation. The staff are incredibly caring, attentive, and professional. From the nurses to the therapists to the support staff, everyone goes above and beyond to make sure residents feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and has a welcoming environment. The rehabilitation team is excellent and truly dedicated to helping patients recover and regain their independence. Communication with families is also great—they keep you informed and treat residents with dignity and respect. A special shoutout to the amazing social workers—Kaitlin, Sharlyne, and Amy—who truly make a difference for residents and their families. They are compassionate, responsive, and always willing to help navigate the process and provide support. I’d also like to recognize the Administrator, Adam, for his leadership and commitment to maintaining such a high standard of care throughout the facility. It’s clear that the people who work here genuinely care about the well-being of their residents. I highly recommend Friedwald Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation to anyone looking for quality care and compassionate staff.

I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank the entire Friedwald staff for the exceptional care they provided to my grandfather. So many staff members went above and beyond to support him, and I know he was not always the easiest patient. The compassion, patience, and dedication shown to him did not go unnoticed. Staff members kept me updated, checked on him regularly, ensured he was eating, and even took the time to sit with him when he was feeling sad, something I will never forget. I would especially like to recognize Dr. Shah, Pearl, Sharlyne, Kaitlin, Lucy, Kimmy Conklin, Bernadette, Michael (ADON), Alex and Cristina from Speech, Jon, Susa, and Alisha from Rehab, Katie Brown, and his wonderful aides, especially Denise, Rosanna, and Sandra. A special thank you as well to Rinu for helping coordinate his admission. Thank you all for your kindness and dedication. Friedwald should be incredibly proud of its staff.
