Testimonials

  • “My sister Margaret McElligott resided at Cabrini Rehab for about seven weeks with a torn ligament in her knee.

    “It seemed an impossibility that she would walk again mostly because of her illness that has plagued her all her life.

    “…The constant encouragement from Imee and Margo at therapy, trying to understand how to get the best effort from Margaret, from pulling her up to a standing position to taking a few steps, to using a walker and finally to stop using the wheelchair as a crutch–wow– was a herculean task. They never gave up, only looked to ways to motivate Margaret.

    “What a beautiful, caring and even holy place where everyone treated my sister with kindness and dignity.

    “Even today Margaret attends the Cabrini Adult Day Center and continues to be a part of such a caring community where the dignity of each person is recognized. I thank God for all of you.”

  • “Mark Twain once said, ‘Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.’ I say it is also the language of Cabrini! Thank you for your gentle persuasion, professional craft and genuine concern for the patients’ progress. A special thanks to Anand for my road to recovery.”

  • “When my Aunt first entered your facility, her prognosis was extremely grim. By all records she was wasting away and we were told repeatedly by a variety of medical professionals who were then tending to her care, that her time was at hand.

    “It was our intent to make, what we thought were her last days, as comfortable as possible. It was with that intent that we sought out and chose St. Cabrini for her care.

    “And now eight months later we are absolutely amazed at what your team was able to accomplish for her. We have witnessed her return to life; her quality of life, substantially improved. Though she remains paralyzed, the marked improvement in her clarity of thought, her weight gain, and an overall return to herself as we knew her, is nothing less than astonishing. Perhaps more so is the fact that she is no longer on the barrage of pharmaceuticals that had been prescribed for her prior to her admittance at St. Cabrini.

    “There is no doubt that the care she received at St. Cabrini is of the utmost quality. The attention she’s received has been second to none.

    “…Please continue the outstanding care you provide which nourishes not only the body, but the soul as well. Your efforts are recognized and very much appreciated.”

  • “The staff members on the Garden Level are exceptional people. They cared for my father with love, respect, and dignity. It was a very hard decision for me and my sister to put my father in a nursing home but it had become unsafe for him to be at home. The staff members were so kind to us. They knew and understood the pain we were in. The hugs and kind words got us through the difficult time…

    “…After dad died, a few nurses that weren’t there called to express their sympathy to us. Your staff members from Cabrini and Jansen are to be commended for a wonderful job and for being such caring people. During my dad’s stay there, the personnel became our extended family.

    “The make up of a company/institution is the people. You should be very proud of your personnel at Cabrini and Jansen.”
