Huge shout out to: 1. Secta (OT) 2. Kevin (PT) Thanks for giving everything for our mom. Such a Joy to have you supporting and being there for my mom. My mom loves them both, she says how friendly, understanding, and supporting they are. My mom praises them for their hard work. Today my mom called and told me that I can walk, I went straight to see her, and she was able to walk by herself using her walkers. Thanks Lauerel Wellness Center for taking a very good care of my mom. 100% recommended. Great staff, lots of activities, lots of hydration stations, and lots of support.

Came to celebrate my sister's Birthday today. I was very overwhelmed with the experience. I didn't expect them to have an actual party. They had Karaoke, pizza for everyone there and cake. We brought an ice cream cake and shared with everyone. All the staff is wonderful. They all came over and sang and brought the party to life! Jessica did a great job with getting everything together. Everyone had a great tiMe. Thanka to all the staff for a great time.

The staff at Laurel Wellness are phenomenal! They truly care about their patients. Thank you to everyone who took care of my dad, Rudy during his stay. My mom is grateful for the personal and compassionate care my dad received from the day he was admitted to the day he was discharged. A special thank you to Activity Director, Jessica who is a true leader and an outstanding person! She is a one of a kind when it comes to making people truly valued. Her daily visits to my dad to invite him to the scheduled resident activities of the day, her smiles and encouraging words, how she makes each resident feel special as an individual shows how much she loves her job.She arranged an appreciation event for my dad the day before he was discharged. It was a jaw-dropping celebration for my parents. There was a special table with balloons and delicious cupcakes for everyone! The certificate of appreciation my dad received was the icing on the cake. Only a truly wonderful and beautiful person can do this. Thank you, Jessica, for showing my parents that they matter. Our family is forever grateful to their kindness and excellent care. Thank you!🙏
