Sample family reviews

From former guests and their families

Marco had me crossing that little footbridge on day nine. When I got home, the gravel driveway didn't scare me one bit.
Edna W.Rehab guest after knee replacement
Daniel worked with Papá every day in Spanish after his stroke. By discharge he was ordering his own breakfast again.
Rubén S.Son of a stroke rehab guest
Having breakfast on the patio under the oaks made me feel like a person again, not a patient.
Judy F.Rehab guest, Goliad
Lisa called me every evening. I live in Houston, and those calls were the only reason I slept.
Danielle M.Daughter of a rehab guest
Carmen had the walker, the shower chair and the home health nurse all lined up before Mom came home.
Victor A.Son of a rehab guest, Port Lavaca
My hip was replaced on a Monday and I toured the Friday before. Knowing what to expect made all the difference.
Bill T.Rehab guest, Victoria
Tom the gardener cheered every lap I walked. By the end he was timing me.
Gloria R.Rehab guest, Edna
Rosa got me back in my kitchen. I made tamales for the therapy team the week after I went home.
Maria L.Rehab guest, Cuero
Private room, quiet nights and a team that actually talked to me. Seventeen days and I walked out.
