Testimonials

"We speak on behalf of our entire family when we say that the excellent care that dad has thus far received is only exceeded by the compassion, professionalism and sincere interest that is demonstrated on his behalf every day. We can honestly say that these attributes are displayed day in and day out by all the staff members who are involved in his care.  Words alone could not sufficiently express how thankful we are to you for this during these very trying times.”  NM, HM

"My father was in your care for six months during the year 2000. He passed away a few days ago.  Although our family is terribly sad, we can't help but be grateful for the last 11 years he was with us.  When he came to Silver Lake Rehab Center, he could not walk or speak.  He recovered enough in a few months to walk me down the aisle for my wedding, and came home for a few months after that.  He led a wonderful life, and our family wants to thank all of your for helping him recover.  Regardless of your job title, you all played an important role.  You all have a difficult job, but please know that the work you do is truly appreciated." KT

“I have never been a nursing home in my life – this has been the most care I have ever gotten. You should be proud of your nurses that work here – they are the most caring and loving that I have ever met.  When I first came here I was so afraid of not getting the care I needed but I am so happy that I came to this place………the nurses go out of their way to see that I was taken care of.”  NP

“I just want to compliment the staff for the wonderful care they provided my mother during some very difficult times.  The entire staff not only supplied the medical services needed they also provided comfort, understanding and sensitivity, which sometimes means more. All seemed to be genuinely concerned and went above and beyond to make an impossible situation easier to cope with for the family.  This staff is essential to your care center and one you certainly should be proud of!”  EP

“I want to thank your staff for taking such good care of my husband.  They are caring and beautiful people and I am extremely grateful for the care they gave my husband.  He was ill for such a long time and I felt at ease with him being there, knowing that he received such good care.”   MB

“The excellent care that you provided to my wife for the past four years enabled us to restore a relationship with each other that had undergone serious stress in the last years that she was at home.  I thank all of you, you are all good people.”  EM

“I want to express my gratitude for your wonderful service in the care of my mother who was a resident for seven months.  Since I live a distance away, I would like to thank social worker SG and nurse NL who have contacted me often to share all the following up of my mother’s health conditions. They wanted to be sure to include me in all aspects of my mother’s care. I didn’t feel left out of what was going on.  I visited mom several times prior to her death.  She shared with me how wonderful people at Silver Lake treated her with good care. I was relieved that I made the right decision and that she was happy living at the nursing home.”  PF

“I am writing this to tell you how lucky I was to have 2 great therapists MF and AL.  I came here on a respirator thinking I would never get out of here.  I could not walk, sit up, talk or use my hands to feed and dress myself. I started therapy and never thought I could do all they expected of me. But with their encouragement and their friendship I found out I could.  I am going home soon and able to talk, use my hands to dress myself and do counted cross stitch.  I’m able to get in and out of a wheel chair and tend to my needs – and no oxygen!  I think this is pretty impressive.  I will never forget them for what they did for me - that includes your entire staff they were all wonderful to me.”  MB

“On this fourth year anniversary of our mother’s stay at Silver Lake, we just wanted to send our appreciation and thanks to you and your staff for all your hard work and devotion to the excellent day-to-day care that mom is given………….  When our day begins and when it ends we think about our precious mother in your care, we feel we can rest easily knowing that she is in such good hands” S&JG

“My husband and I would like to say thank you, to everyone who helped and gave us support in rehabilitating him.  When he arrived, he could not walk, and had limited hand and arm movement; but with the help everyone gave him, he is now walking and has full use of his hands and arms and getting stronger every day.” ES

“We sold like to take this opportunity to say thank you to all the staff for the care you have given our mother for the past 8 years.  We know she thought of all of you as her extended family.  It made our lives easier to know she was with people that gave her excellent care and were truly concerned about her.  These past months were difficult for us all, but we know everything possible was being done for her mental and physical well being.  We would especially like to thank staff who comforted us and never ever altered the excellent standard of care given her.”  BK

“To put a loved on in a nursing home is a very hard decision.  The care that my uncle received was such that the hard decision now became a comforting one.  I could not place a value on the level of care he received and the knowledge that the staff was providing that level of care set my mind at ease.  For that I will be eternally grateful. I’m sure there are times when you get letters of complaint.  I thought is would be a good idea to share my positive feelings with you so that you know what a wonderful staff Silver Lake has.” TM

“I would like to take this time to thank everyone for the wonderful care you had given my mother over the many years.  I have to say that the specialized care as the name states is truly what she received.  My visits were always to or more time a week and I have never found her neglected in any way. In this day you hear so much about nursing homes and the lack of concern for the patients, but not so with Silver Lake. Thank you very much and may you forever be blessed.”  AJ

“For all of the seven plus years my mother spent at Silver Lake, she never complained about anyone. I think she was relatively happy there and I certainly felt at ease and secure in the thought that she was being well taken care of.  I was always impressed with the cleanliness of the Center and the efficiency and thoughtfulness of the staff.” EZ

“Thank you so much for giving us peace of mind, with the knowledge that my mother is in very good hands. The three words I’d use to describe Silver Lake are: awareness, kindness and professionalism.” JD

“With deepest thanks to all the staff for the loving care you gave my mother during the 15 ½ years she was at Silver Lake.  She considered it her home.  Thank you for all your compassion and patience.  I will never forget you.”  DT
