The staff here were very professional and helpful anytime I had a question or need. They made the admission and discharge process very easy and even followed up to make sure everything was going on smoothly. I recommend this place to anyone needing the services they provide.

Hamden rehab is like my home.The cna's that take care of you care for you with such respect. I almost feel like they're my children I enjoy their company and the way they take care of me. the nurse is here are priceless for me I came here the bed sores and they call them up in a week's time which was fantastic. Physical therapy has been life-changing from the beginning. they take good care of you and they want you to get better. while I don't have a discharge date I'm very confident by the time I leave here I will be up and walking and taking care of myself. life has been good here and I appreciate everything this center has given me.
