Chestelm is a wonderful rehab center! The staff are warm, attentive and go above and beyond to make you feel valued just like you are part of the family! The therapy team is encouraging and supportive and really care about your progress. It's clear that everyone here genuinely cares. It's the only place I'd trust to care for my mom. Highly recommend!

My dad entered Chestelm for short term rehab after breaking his hip. The PT/OT/Social work staff are exceptional. He is going home stronger than before his surgery. The nursing staff were attentive, kind and caring and always went above and beyond in their service and assistance. The daily recreation options made his stay more pleasant and helped to pass the long days. The food was always very good. We are thankful for a wonderful experience at a difficult time.

One of the best decisions I ever made was moving my mom to Chestelm Health and Rehabilitation Center. Everyone at the Chestelm is dedicated to providing expert care and kindness to everyone. Yesterday, my family and I attended a summer picnic on the grounds for residents and families. It was all hands on deck by the staff to make sure everyone had fun. Everyone from the administrator on down ran around making sure everyone had enough to eat and was having a good time. Kudos to everyone at Chestelm for creating a wonderful experience for us.

I was recently living at Chestelm Nursing Home for approx. 2 weeks. I found Chestelm to be an excellent facility. I had to share a restroom with a fellow who had leg problems so he didn’t use the restroom very much. The thing I liked best about Chestelm was that when I pressed the button for a hand to help or just someone to be close when I had to use the restroom during the night. The food was decent so I was never hungry. I could have asked for extra food if I wanted but didn’t. To me, Chestelm was a five star facility. They brought me for therapy everyday. I thank all the people who work there for their service.

Chestelm is the ideal location to send your loved one for their short- and long-term care. They are filled with caring, competent staff who go above and beyond every day. In the past, I have had horrific experiences with other nursing facilities who claimed to care for my mother while healing from injuries, however "care" was more akin to neglect. To avoid repeating this situation, I took the time to research and saw the many positive reviews that Chestelm has received. Well, I can concur that these are more than well deserved. From the extra care taken by the admissions staff to find my mom a bed, to the outstanding care that she has received while in short-term rehab, to the many efforts they have made to keep her healthy, safe, and happy, I can verify that Chestelm ranks above them all. The care has taken into account my mother's special needs, the facilities are impeccable, and the establishment pays as much attention to mental health by offering activities, entertainment, and the dignity of choosing your own meal, as it does to the physical. This is a rare combination of service that honors patient rights and addresses their specific needs. I feel so lucky to have found Chestelm. Finally, in my many fights with the insurance company to keep my mother in Chestelm's care while on her healing journey, the staff support has been outstanding! Through several rounds of appeals, support has come from all directions - whether it is admissions, the social workers, the PT/OT department, the Medical Director, the medical assistants, the receptionists, and more - the Chestelm staff goes above and beyond to support families struggling against the evils of insurance. I hope that they know that they make a difference in people's lives. That their care extends beyond the patient to reduce the stress that families face and allow us some peace of mind. Services such as these are a rarity in the medical community. All I can offer is my deep gratitude. Thank you.
