My father was here for 5+ years and 10 years to the day later, my mother moved in. Much kudos to the entire staff who make the Teresian House feel like home. Lots of activities, friendly staff, in house chapel if you need it. Keep up the good work!

The person at the desk was so personable and upbeat. The process itself was very easy but just as important was the friendly greeting. It also makes me feel secure for my family member that everyone is checked in and checked out with a picture. In the off chance that someone could enter with nefarious intent, you will have their picture.

Me (Sean) & my friend of 30 years (Wendy) were both visiting sister Tess who was a professor at the college of St Rose when I was going there in the 90s. My mom recently passed away and sister Tess had her for botany class, & Wendy's mom also knew sister Tess. I helped sister test with a silent auction & a banquet at the college of Saint Rose in 1993. We had a good visit with sister Tess, and she was recounting lots and lots of old stories. She was very fond of our moms. And she misses sister Agnes greatly. The staff there was very kind to her & were always checking in to see how she was, if what she wanted for dinner & to make sure her room was clean! We were able to give her a few religious artifacts to keep her company in her room. Thank you for making this visit possible. It meant specially a lot for me since I lost my mother in October of 2025 & sister Tess was one of the last remaining connections to both of us from a period when my mother was alive and vibrant.

The nurses are spectacular! Always helping and entertaining the residents and quick to help with any requests. The place and rooms are always spotlessly clean. There are a lot of activities for the residents. What a peace of mind I have knowing my mom is in such good care.

My mother needed short-term rehab and we chose Teresian House because of its excellent reputation. We were very happy to be able to get her a spot and we have found that the facility is extremely clean, the staff is very friendly and helpful, and my mother has enjoyed the food as well! I would highly recommend this facility to anyone looking for a rehab.
