When I came to the Ludlowe I was in terrible shape with ALS. I was so grateful to have Sam, (physical therapy )Denise(Occupational therapy)and Leanne(speech therapy)and their staff for various therapies. I kept saying to myself “They can’t pay these ladies enough.” They were caring, efficient and went miles above and beyond to treat everyone like they were number one. (It was always quite a bit of people too) It seemed they were always looking for ways to help and find solutions to problems. They would often check on patients after or before sessions to make sure they were okay, provide advice and encouragement and so much more. They helped someone like me with a progressive disease get a bit more out of life. I joked they brought me back to half life, but it was also not really a joke. As a team they worked together seemlessly. I cannot say enough about how much appreciation I have for them. I would be remiss if I did not mention the Nurse’s aides like Monique, Nadine, (once again I say you cannot pay these ladies enough) Ashley, Sharon, Shanice and Talia who went above and beyond as well. And the visit I had from Nurse Practitioner Lindsey was so caring along with transfers from Naya. There were others I am sure I will be upset I forgot (adding Michelle,Ashley John,Nurse Shea)but I cannot stop thinking how great everyone was. I was only one patient amongst numerous patients who were at The Ludlowe for about a month. Just imagine how many lives are touched by these wonderful people. I certainly hope the Ludlowe takes very good care of these professionals. Once again I have ALS, which was only going in one direction till I got there. I will keep saying it. You cannot pay these wonderful people enough. May this review find the owners of The Ludlowe thankful and everyone there happy and well, V Macchio PS Wishing Sam an amazing wedding!

Beautiful facility. Staff super friendly and well aware of my dad’s arrival from a local Hospital. His room was immaculate and ready for him once he arrived.

I went to see my aunt. From a big family, and several of my older relatives are aging out. Therefore, I’ve been to many of these facilities. I was very impressed with not only the cleanliness, but the light. The staff’s attentiveness to the detail was very impressive. Moreover, my aunt loved the food, which is unusual in these places. Very impressed.
