I’m hopefully in the unusual position of having both my Dad and my brother at The Laurels at the same time. I just want to thank everyone there ! They are taking such good care of both of them. You can pay someone to take care of them, but you can’t pay someone to care ABOUT them ! Every time someone new comes in contact with my Dad or brother (from aides, to nurses, to rehab staff, to administrators, to cleaning staff, to drivers, cafeteria folks and more) I think to myself they can’t possibly be as nice and as good at their job as the last person. Yet somehow they are ! When I visit and it’s time to leave, that can be hard, especially with my 93 year old Dad. But it makes a huge difference when I have such confidence that my loved ones will be cared for AND ABOUT till I can visit again. It takes special people and special hearts to do what everyone there does every day. THANK YOU !

My mother was in rehab for several months at the Laurels and the service was very good. I live in Florida and the social worker kept me informed bi-weekly of the progress and event. The facility was very clean and staff was very accommodating.

My husband came to The Laurels of Defiance with complicated issues. His needs were met by caring and capable staff members. We are so grateful for the wonderful nursing, therapy, and transportation services we have received while here.
