In Their Words

Whether you are looking for skilled nursing care, rehabilitative services, or long term care, The Edgewood Centre is, for many, the best possible choice.

While giant corporations are increasingly dominating the health care industry, Edgewood remains independently owned and operated. That’s why we remain focused on just one thing, the most important thing: the well being of each and every resident in our care.

But don’t take our word for it, here’s what people like you have to say about our care and environment:

An Edgewood resident

“The rehab and wellness team at Edgewood put forth so much effort in building my strength and enhancing my quality of life. They always think of new exercises for me to do. As my strength and control increases with these additional exercises, it proves to me that they not only expect me to improve but want me to! I (and my family) notice great improvement. I also really enjoy the wellness spa treatments (massage, reiki, etc.) I feel so relaxed and peaceful afterwards.”

Judith Mitsui, former Edgewood resident

“When I left the hospital I was in pain and just wanted to go home. I didn’t think I needed a rehab stay. Now, having gone through it, I realize there’s no way I could have done it without the type of rehab therapy that Edgewood provides. I was very pleased with the whole process-Edgewood delivered everything they promised.”

Karen DiRubio, resident family member

“When Mom had a stroke, we as her children had a most difficult decision to make, to have our mother reside in a nursing facility for the rest of her life. In the beginning I cried every time that I left her. As time went on, we all realized the wonderful loving care she was receiving at Edgewood. The staff went above and beyond to make sure that Mom was safe, comfortable, and happy.”

Susan Battye, Edgewood staff person

“Fourteen years ago I came to Edgewood as a volunteer, joined the staff, and have been here every since. All four of my children have benefitted from the fantastic on-site child care center and I have enjoyed the experience of working in an atmosphere of excellence. I know that the decisions made at Edgewood are based on doing the right thing and genuinely caring about people rather than corporate policies or the bottom line. That means everything to me and I can’t imagine working anywhere else.”

Mike Wassell, PA in cardiovascular surgery

“I am a health care provider and my practice sends people to Edgewood for cardiac rehab. My mother is also a resident at the facility and I can’t say enough about the quality of the care and attention she’s received. When people at the hospital ask me about Edgewood, I tell them how pleased I am. I recommend Edgewood without hesitation.”
