Working with the staff at Runnells has been a great experience! The facility is beautiful. From my first visit, it was clear that the people who work there have compassion, empathy, and work towards providing the best care for their residents. Communication and follow-up is efficient and they do what's best for the care of the residents.

Following my brother's recent admission to Runnell last week, I have already observed significant improvements in his condition. He appears remarkably well and alert. The staff's professionalism and friendliness are noteworthy, and the dedication of the Director of Nursing, social worker, therapy team, and administrator is truly commendable. I am grateful for the care he is receiving. The facility is well-maintained, and the staff members are exceptional. I now rest easy, confident that my brother is in capable hands and receiving excellent care. I extend my sincere appreciation to all the staff.

I cannot thank the staff at Runnells Center and Rehabilitation enough for the incredible care they provided for my mother during her stay. From the moment she was admitted, every team member went above and beyond to ensure she felt safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. Their compassion, patience, and professionalism made a world of difference for her and our entire family. It’s not easy placing a loved one in someone else’s hands, but the warmth and dedication of the staff gave us peace of mind every day. My mom always felt heard, respected, and supported. Whether it was the nurses, aides, therapists, or administrative staff, every person played a part in her recovery and emotional well-being. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to everyone. You are truly making a difference, and we are forever grateful.
