My mom had 2 stays at St James this past spring/summer. She actually enjoyed her stay here and a large reason for that was Lori Sorrentino. Lori's official title is Associate Director of Recreation, but she's so much more than that. What a lovely, hard-working, empathetic person! She takes care of everybody at St James. They're so lucky to have her!

Lori Bella

My husband, Ronald, came to St. James Rehab & Nursing Home for rehabilitation and had a wonderful experience. He spoke highly of the staff, saying they were incredibly kind and attentive. We also have a friend, Mike, who loves this facility and comes here every year for their rehab services— he always insists on returning to St. James! I highly recommend this place for anyone in need of excellent care and rehab services. Thank you, St. James!
