St Elizabeth healthcare and rehabilitation center was wonderful. My family was going out of town and we needed a place to send my father for respite care. They made us feel so comfortable and helped us figure out the planning (with the VA). My father enjoyed there. He actually perferred it to the VA where he usually stays. They were all very nice. I know we will definitely be using them in the future.

Clean and spacious facility, the staff really cares for all the patients and makes sure all needs are met. The rehab team is supportive, professional, and very good at what they do; making sure patients are getting stronger with fun activities often planned out!

After my husband was there for almost a week I feel comfortable he was taken care of. I would suggest they leave the tv on for him during the day because he likes watching it. After checking in on him after a few days it was not on. I would also suggest they send him home with a clean shave and showered. I would take him back again.

The staff was always very helpful and kind. The facility was very clean. Lots of activities for the clients. My husband fell twice in one day and had to go to St Elizabeth’s. If he needed to go for rehab he would want to go there again. .

The care was exceptional with exception of day attendants or nursing staff in charge of restroom issues. For three days I observed delayed responses to restroom aide up to two hours. The night and crew of case workers and activities assistant were excellent they went out of their way to assist my mother with her care.
