I'll say this the nurses are unbelievable at this facility physical therapy occupational therapy except for the Lady Sue she was the only one that actually stretched me everybody else including the guy who runs the physical therapy Scott don't care about anybody I had an hour and a half of therapy the girl was 70 minutes late and I got 20 minutes and when I asked about my other 70 minutes she laughed I don't understand the place it's supposed to help you get back on your feet the last 5 days I stayed there four days I had no occupational therapy or physical therapy if you want to go to a place that you just lay around in bed this is the place for you me I wouldn't send a wounded duck there... The food is okay but most of the time what you order stuff comes missing and it takes an hour and a half to have them bring you the correct stuff. And then they gave you 4 oz of milk your rehabilitating milk is good for you 4 oz that's like a little kitty cup. Trust and Believe don't go here I heard outpatient is fabulous but inpatient I experience it and it's horrible horrible horrible......

My father was sent to Whittier after quite a lengthy stay in the hospital from . We honestly didn’t know what to expect and we all were so impressed with the care and compassion he received from everyone there. He was excited to get back up and moving and on the path to rehabilitation, and everything and everyone there was phenomenal. He is home now and cannot say enough about how thrilled he was with the care received, and neither can we. I would 100% trust my loved ones in their care .

Outstanding in every way. Our son was there for a month and the tremendous staff at Whittier got him from bedridden to safely mobile. The place is spotless, the food was excellent, and the overall experience was great. If you or a loved one must have rehab, this is the place!

Okay, listen — the humans here come out healthier, happier, and walking straighter than ever. The staff are basically wizards in scrubs: kind, attentive, and always ready with encouragement and snacks (for them, not for dogs, unfortunately). If only dogs were allowed inside… But the yard? A masterpiece. Grassy, peaceful, full of sunshine and perfect for chasing tennis balls, contemplating life, squirrels, and injustice. So yes — 10/10 place for humans in recovery. But until they install a “four-paw guest policy,” I’ll be outside, wagging in protest. 🐾

My brother was at Whittier in Bradford. The nurses, PT, nutritionist & Dr Pant & Dr Lynn were amazing! Such great care. They understood my brother was near passing & I did not want my brother moved. We had hospice care along with the staff at Whittier. I am very happy he passed away in peace. Thank you again for the great care & compassion.
