I came to Gilman Healthcare because I needed physical therapy. The therapy team was great and helped me achieve my goal. I'm ready to return home and wanted to let everyone know that my stay has been great.

I have personally seen the care that is given at Gilman Healthcare. The residents are loved. The staff treats them as family members. They always have a activity going that is of interest to many and often have "special days" to celebrate with treats. I would trust my love ones here and really do commend the staff for their hard work.
