"I am writing this letter to show my appreciation and recognition for your staff at Ellen where my mother resided for three years. The care extended by the staff was filled with love, kindness and grace."
"I had the misfortune of a horrific fall. I had a choice of where to go for rehab and I chose Ellen. I spent six weeks there and I actually reached the point of enjoying my stay there. The facility is extremely clean, the food was excellent, the nursing staff and aides all exhibited a great deal of compassion to me. The rehabilitation was done in a large, newly renovated therapy gym and the therapists were great! They were kind, compassionate and knowledgeable. They really worked with me to set realistic goals and get me back home with my husband as quick as possible. That staff is a sparkling group of team members! I would recommend Ellen to anyone."
"I went to visit someone for 2 days and the staff are incredibly friendly! They take care so well of Mr Grumpy."
