The care is good here, the residents are such beautiful people. The staff here knows how to take care of you. We have such an amazing time with all the many different things for you to do here. I am truly cared for here, and St. James is always meeting my needs. I’ve made such amazing friends here and I am happy to be here.

Words cannot describe the ambition, drive, and support that St. James has provided me. The team here works so well together and they all have the goal of helping their patients become healthy again, for that, I thank you! You have always made this an enjoyable and well-respected experience.

So far I love it here. Everyone has been super nice and helpful, and I am happy to have chosen this place. All I want to do is get better and go back home to cook for my community

I am feeling so much better since I came in last week. I am enjoying therapy and am so grateful for what everyone does here for the patients. I would definitely recommend this place to someone.

Hello,

‍

My name is Helaine Bernstein and my dad, Stanley Weber, was a resident at St. James from July – October of this year. He had a feeding tube when he arrived. Rachel Palladino worked with my dad until he was able to swallow and eat soft foods again. She did a great job of getting him to this point, while also being cautious and not doing too much too soon.  Rachel was very patient in explaining her plan and his progress to us. Dad is enjoying eating some of his favorite foods again and so we are very grateful to Rachel.

‍

Josh and Noelle, physical and occupational therapists, also worked hard to help him regain his strength. My dad is able to be back in his house because of the their efforts. The aids, especially Desiree, were very kind to us during my dad’s stay. Thank you for taking care of him.

I can’t thank everyone enough for everything they’ve done for me.

Dear Cristen and the entire St. James team,

Irwin thrived in the creative, loving, and caring environment that you provided. His medical needs were met with expertise and he was shown patience and care, even on his rare “off” days. The programs you provided lifted his spirits and made him laugh. The fact that everyone knew him as a person was so meaningful to his well-being and mine.

‍

I know that when I wasn’t there, he was safe and loved. St. James is a great facility, second best to one’s own home. We can never thank you enough. Irwin is doing well and remembers everyone at St. James with a smile. A big thank you a huge hug to all.

Love

To Olivia, Monica, Valeria, and all of the aides, Chrissie, Mike, Tim and other nurses. I say thank you very much for all the care and help you gave me while I was recovering from my fractured hip at St. James Rehab Center during Dec. 2023 and Jan. 2024.

‍

To Leslie, Christine and all others who worked so hard and patiently with me at PT and OT to help me get back on my feet after fractured hip surgery, I want to offer my heartfelt thanks. Thanks also to April and others who work in housekeeping who work hard on keeping the place clean.

With Gratitude

Dear Cristen,We would like to thank you and your staff for allowing us to use the spare room next to the library to celebrate our sister Carol’s birthday.

‍

The staff was wonderful, especially Annie, from Recreational therapy, who so kindly went and brought back the extra chairs that we needed. And some of the Rec. therapy staff stopped in to wish Carol a Happy Birthday… Elana, Jeremy, Lori and a few others that I regretfully cannot remember their names, but have seen many times in the past, and they are GREAT!

‍

They show such love and care for Carol and all the other residents.Also, again, we give recognition to Shannon on 1 South. Shannon is always helpful, kind and compassionate, always with a smile. We know she really cares for Carol and is very observant of her residents, recognizing additional care where needed.God bless all the aides, nurses and other employees.Again, we thank you for accommodating us. It was a great “family” day, celebrating our sister, who was one of 8 in our beautiful family.

Thank you
