My father was a resident of Lorien Mt. Airy for a number of years. He recently passed away there at the age of almost 98. I live out of state and would call my father every day. They always helped me get my father on the phone, which required their assistance. They were patient, took great care of him, treated him with respect and got to know him well. I could not be more appreciative of our experience with the staff at Lorien Mt. Airy.

I am writing to express our deep gratitude for the exceptional care of our family member, received at Lorien Mt. Airy. From the moment of arrival, the team provided outstanding service. Mark, Michael, Amy, Bethany, Gabriel, Hazel, Ness, Erica, Ann, Tessa, and Whitney all delivered wonderful, compassionate, and highly professional care. Their attention to detail and dedication were truly exemplary throughout her stay. A special thank you to Stephanie, who made the admission process significantly less stressful. While we were in New York frantically searching for a quality rehab facility near home, Stephanie was incredibly responsive, helpful, and reassuring. She handled everything with great professionalism and eased a very difficult situation for our family. We cannot thank the entire team enough. If you are looking for a rehab facility that truly cares and takes very good care of its members, I highly recommend Lorien Mt. Airy Rehab. Thank you again for all you did — you made our family feel well supported during a challenging time

My mother moved in July 2025 and her quality of life has been restored thanks to the great staff at Lorien. From the move- in process, to proper meds scheduling, dining services, activities, housekeeping, daily caregiving and nursing, we have been very happy with everyone at Lorien. My mother is much happier with the personal touch they provide to her and the friendly faces.

I can’t say enough about the staff and the facility. Dad was there initially on rehab after a hip fracture replacement. The rehab team was great and he was making progress but his other medical conditions warranted a transfer to the hospital. After a month it was decided he needed to have hospice care and he wanted to go back to Lorien. It was anticipated it would be a matter of days but he actually remained there for almost 3 months until he passed. There are not words to express how much the staff delivered compassionate, excellent care. This caring was not only from the ones delivering direct care - it was everyone from the person at the front desk, to the activities staff who made a point to include him even those he was confined to bed, to the daily environmental staff. They coordinated seamlessly with the Hospice staff to make sure dad was as comfortable and happy as possible. Would definitely recommend the facilty!

The caring staff at Lorien were wonderful. My Mother was in the rehabilitation unit and transitioned to assisted living. The administration was wonderful in facilitating this move during a difficult time. The care she received was always excellent. Everyone treated my Mother with kindness and concern. Thank you.
