I would like to say thanks to Ronnette and her team for our Awesome Christmas Party...I really enjoyed the fellowship, live soloists, the laughter and the best food I've enjoyed since I've been here. ...I really appreciate the entire activity department (especially Meme and Dj) for their hard work alongside the cooks who helped prepare and served us Anthony, Julius and Kim and even the volunteers who helped out Cookie Dill..Thanks again Ronnette and your team!!!!!

Our family is quite pleased our mother was placed at MontCare Wheaton for rehab. The entire staff is great! We appreciate all the nurses for their around the clock attention for care. Also, the rehab treatment from the therapy staff. Marsha Smith, Social Worker, coordinated and regularly met with us and the health team to keep us informed of our mother’s progress. Often, Ronnie Colbert, Administrator, took time to speak with us to make sure things were good.

I was grateful to have my husband at a location closer to where we live. This was a great place for my husband and myself. It was closer to our home. The staff were all so wonderful and for me it was like going home each and everyday I arrived to his room. They knew he liked being able to see the outside so after a few days he was switched to a room with a view of the courtyard. He absolutely love that. It blessed me as well knowing he was happy.
