It is truly a pleasure to acknowledge the remarkable impact your nursing home has had on my mother, Ruth E. Cave, since her arrival in December 2024.

At this time I would love to specifically recognize the following staff members, Nurse Claudette ( a true joy and blessing) Nurse Gail, Nursing Assistants Jackie, Brittany and Mrs. Walker. Their professionalism, expertise, and attention to our mother’s daily requirements is above board. Their work is critical in ensuring her needs are met.

Jean C.

“I went to visit a friend at Chapin Rehab. First time visit to Chapin and I was pleasantly surprised how nice it was. The grounds are well kept, plenty of outside seating with shade and umbrellas. We were able to park in the parking lot. The security officers were so helpful with the check in process. The place was clean and it was quiet. There was a group of people in a large room watching tv, playing games and talking. The nurse I spoke to was pleasant and helpful. She gave me the name and number of the Social Worker I needed to speak to so I could get all my questions answered. I gave it 5 stars for a first visit.”

Polo B.

“I came here to visit a friend that I’ve known since 1980. The staff was very kind and pleasant. With a friendly staff constantly checking in, it makes a home away from home. The room that she was in seemed very large and comfortable.”

Michael Barrington

“My experience at Chapin Home was much better than what I would have expected. The staff are all great, especially the occupational and physical therapists. Their rehabilitation instructions and exercises helped me to get stronger and confident enough for me to continue their teachings when I am home. I would like to thank them for their service. To add, they are all punctual and patient with me. “

Aurea "Cookie" Hermoso

“I came to Chapin Home for rehab due to a total hip replacement of my left hip. My first thought when I was going to have my surgery was to go home, but I realized after surgery that I would not be able to recover properly at home. I have been here for one month and have had a wonderful experience both in PT and OT. All my therapists have been exceptional working with me daily and getting me back on my feet. The cleanliness of the PT-OT room is evident as you walk in. Also, the equipment that is provided is what you need to get better. This would not have been possible at home. I recommend anyone who had surgery and needs rehab to recover to come here to Chapin Home for excellent care and recovery. Thank you.”

Maria Kouvaras B

“This place a a home away from home…. extended family to us. My in-laws are there and after searching and inquiring, thug place was recommended. The best part is that they love and appreciate the care they receive.

We struggle with the idea of not having them home but after realizing that medical attention that they now need, this place is a blessing.”

A Wilson

“My mother has been in Chapin since early 2020. I chose Chapin because of the good reviews. Our experience has been nothing but extraordinarily pleasant. The staff is kind from the security to the clinical treatment teams. They follow a patient oriented approach by doing their best to make sure my mother is comfortable and feels safe even when she becomes resistant to rules, structures, and policies. They have always appeared to put their patients and family concerns first, and this is why I am overwhelmingly thankful and pleased to leave a 5 star review without ever being asked to.”

Everyone is friendly and always willing to help!”
