We visited from out of town. Thankful to see residents well dressed, out of bed, clean, our family member's wheelchair had lock extenders, leg rests. Kudos! Facility was clean, smells were very minimal. It was a weekend, very quiet. Thank you.

My mom went there. Overall positive experience. Rehab department was exceptional. Most staff GNAs (Cherie, Antione, Kia, Jada, Danielle, Erica) were great but there were quite a few agency GNAs who were not the best. Nurses were attentive and took great care of mom. Housekeeper Sylvia was AMAZING! Mike and Corey in maintenance were great.

My name is Jim, I’ve been a patient at Lorien Mays Chapel for over 1 year. My family found this place for me from a review, and I am just returning the favor. I have been pleased here, good food and variety. My roommate is paraplegic and hasn’t been out of bed for 5 years. The caregivers are very caring. I’m sure that he would also give high marks to this facility.

What a professional, compassionate and genuinely kind staff you have. My dad’s physical and emotional needs were met with such care and intention. Despite how busy they were, they always took time to listen to him and make him feel heard. This then made him feel motivated to work hard and commit himself to recovering. To PT Kayti, you are a gift to the universe and your authentic connection with Dad is impossible to put words to. Nurse Terri, you are a wonderful woman of strength, knowledge and energy. Ms. Sylvie, your buddy misses your humor and care. Madison, you were the best social worker I’ve come across. Ever. Whatever Mays Chapel is doing to maintain such vested and passionate employees, please keep it up. With gratitude, The Fink Family🙏🏼
