Sample family reviews

From Whittington families

Eighteen days after my hip, I walked out to my truck on my own. Kevin had me practicing climbing into the cab.
Leroy P.Rehab patient, 2025
Dad ran the grill at our church for thirty years. They hand him the spatula every Fourth. He's the happiest man in Stephens County that day.
Cheryl B.Daughter of a resident
Tamara calls me herself when anything changes with Mom. Not a voicemail, her.
Ron W.Son of a resident
My husband's wound had been open for months. Rosa had it closed in six weeks and showed me the measurements every Monday.
Darlene H.Wife of a resident
Discharged from the hospital on a Sunday. Hannah answered on the first ring and had a suite ready that afternoon.
Ellen K.Rehab patient, 2024
Mama rode the parade float in a tiara. Half of Duncan waved at her.
Tina M.Daughter of a resident
The dominoes club is the most competitive thing in the building. Dad wouldn't miss it.
Mike S.Son of a resident
They helped us with the SoonerCare application line by line. We'd been stuck for months.
Judy R.Daughter of a resident
After my stroke, speech, OT and PT all met together about me. I was home in five weeks.
Harold G.Rehab patient, 2025
Night shift is where you find out about a place. Mei and her aides are wonderful at three in the morning.
Anita L.Daughter of a resident
When Granddad passed, the chaplain and two aides were with him and called us right away.
Kyle D.Grandson of a former resident
