I cannot thank this group of professionals enough. When my husband checked in from another hospital, he could not even stand on his own, he could not even turn or reposition himself in bed. He could not even sign his name because he had been so critically ill and had lost all his strength. When a friend and I toured the facility before his admission, I was impressed with the very nice reception area and the cleanliness. We were met with Michael B. the head of physical therapy. He assured us that he and his staff would get my husband strong enough to be able to walk again. He and his wonderful staff of therapists made good on his promise. My husband left the facility ambulating with a walker. All the wonderful nurses that cared for my husband on a daily basis, Jesus, Ray, Roman and Ana were attentive, compassionate and caring. The CNA's were excellent, always caring and ready to assist my husband in any way, always ready to attend to my husband when he required so much care and always going the extra mile to make sure I was comfortable. The wound care nurses were excellent, making it their primary goal to expertly care for my husband's stage 4 pressure ulcers which were courtesy of his hospitalization and so very painful when my husband was so critically ill. They kept me informed of every treatment and the progress. I am happy to say that his ulers are on their way to complete healing because of their expert care. Most of all, the administration was kind enough to allow me to stay with my husband throughout his admission. My husband was at Harlingen Nursing Home and Rehabilitation for three months. I am so happy that I made the choice to transfer him to this facility. I will always be grateful to this amazing group of professionals.

My family and I would like to express our sincere gratitude to the entire team at this rehabilitation facility for the exceptional care provided to my dad during his inpatient stay.<br><br>From the moment he arrived, every member of the staff treated him with kindness, respect, compassion, and encouragement. The CNAs, nurses, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapy team, and social worker all played an important role in his recovery journey. Their professionalism, patience, and genuine concern for his well-being made a difficult time much easier for our family.<br><br>A special thank you goes to Nurse Jesus Rodriguez. My dad formed a strong connection with him, and it was clear that Jesus truly cared about his patients. He consistently went above and beyond to make sure my dad was comfortable, supported, and motivated throughout his recovery. His kindness, attentiveness, and positive attitude made a lasting impact on my dad and our entire family. Healthcare professionals like Jesus are truly a blessing.<br><br>Thank you to everyone who helped my dad regain his strength and confidence. The dedication and teamwork displayed by the entire staff did not go unnoticed. We will always be grateful for the outstanding care and compassion shown to him during his stay.<br><br>Highly recommended to anyone seeking rehabilitation services for themselves or a loved one.

Harlingen Nursing and Rehab had an inspirational service today in honor of Memorial Day. Memorial Day is celebrated in remembrance of our fallen heroes and their sacrifices for our freedoms. Our resident and staff veterans also participated and were thanked for their service. The activities dept. did a great job in organizing this event. Mr. Longoria and the staff take good care of us. As a resident, I know this was a good choice for me because we are surrounded with caring staff and friends. Thank you Regency.

Our family is incredibly grateful for the compassion, patience, and dedication the nurses, including the Director of Nursing, have shown my grandmother over the last six months. Caring for someone with dementia takes a very special kind of patience and understanding. Thank you Ms. Ruby and your nurses.
