My husband Leo Hetu came home yesterday after 8 days in Friendly for PT. He was there 2 years ago for similar issues. Friendly was our 1st choice. His PT OT SP team was once again amazing. Head of the group the amazing Jen,little Valerie,Spunky Kasha,Bridget, Sunshine Jody,and the only guy in the group Adam to round out the team. They also give warm reassuring hugs! I am very involved with Leo's care and each one welcomed me into his sessions. Each person gave me little tips to keep him safe at home. For example places to put grab bars. Special gadgets to help get in and out of the car. (Which we practiced many times) bedrails for home. Reaching tools. As his care giver they offered me one on one counseling and instructions on a multitude of things. I know I have a tough road ahead of me. I was comforted in the fact that I could call anytime I needed as his parkinsons progresses. These girls...and Adam are spectacular caring knowledgeable human beings. As for nursing care. Also wonderful. Candy..director of nursing came through when there was a medical complication as he was being discharged. I was panic stricken with anxiety over this unexpected issue . Long story . I did leave there feeling more confident about the home care that a layperson like me can give him. Nicole was also comforting to me with her discharged instructions. Also spoke to me about Leo's future health journey. There were many nurses that I observed being kind and with dignity to patients that had obvious issues with mental function. Alisha and Mike among others .I saw the sweet elderly clients in the hallway bundled up with care .Some with pretty headbands and colorful stuffed animals. They make an impossible job possible. The people delivering meals and cleaning staff were so friendly as well. Never once over my husband's 2 stints there did I ever get bad odors when I came in. Floors were clean. No tripping obstacles in the way. The grounds are gorgeous and we enjoyed sitting outside. Atmosphere to me helps for relaxing and comfort. Hats off to Dan and his team. Sometime in the far future Leo might need Friendly again. We will be back but I hope it never comes to this. I also hope I did not forget a name . There were too many to remember...even after I was in a couple of Jodys speech sessions...blue ,sock bed.. ha ha...I should remember but I'll use my advanced age...a young 67 and my overwhelming circumstances as an excuse! Always keep your sense of humor! Thankyou Friendly!

I have yet to meet any staff member who isn't friendly and helpful. They treat our family member incredibly well. He loves everyone here. ❤️

My mom was there for about 6 weeks after a fall. She received wonderful care from the nurses, PT, & OT. The only complaint she had and I witnessed myself is the time it takes for a CNA to answer when buzzed for assistance. My mom was a fall risk , had extensive orthopedic surgery and required assistance to use the bathroom. When she buzzed for assistance it took quite some time for someone to come. I understand that she is not the only patient that needs help, but it should not take up to 10 mins to assist a patient to use the restroom.

The ot/pt girls at friendly home are fantastic! I was there for 2 weeks after a 2 month stay in the hospital. I could barely walk when I got there and within the 2 weeks, they had me walking, dressing and doing everything myself. Could not ask for a better staff to get me to where I am now, Work with those girls is what I’m going to miss the most. Thank you Jen, Kathy, Kasha, Val and Bridget. Love you gals.
