I just spent 10 days in the Transitional Care unit and had a very good experience. In the beginning it was difficult as I needed help to go to bathroom etc. They are short staffed so it took longer than I hoped but everyone was very kind and compassionate. Special shoutout to my aides Kamala, Christine, Anna, Odel, Alvin, Midas and Irene. They were very professional and kind. I love the PT and OT departments so will be back for my continued therapy. Thanks again

My Dad has been here for over a month in rehab. I've been there many times and I think the people there are great! Their attitude was great considering how tough their job is. They handled getting back to normal after covid spectacular. Thanks to all of you, my Dad and our family really appreciate all your hard work!

I was in St Therese to begin my recovery from major spine surgery. I will say that the staff was absolutely fantastic! The nurses and nurses aides were professional, compassionate, and treated the patients with dignity. The physical therapists and occupational therapists were great - pushing me when I needed pushing - but ever mindful of the pain I was in. The food was delicious and I want to make sure that the kitchen staff is recognized, as well! The social worker was excellent, too! On top of all that, St. Therese looked after the whole person, recognizing that faith and spirituality are so important!
