quotes
"What I like most about Chestelm is that it exudes the warm and loving feeling of home. I am secure in the knowledge that I am getting the best of care.

The physical therapists are very professional, and maintain a positive attitude! I am pleased that they give continual assessments of my progress. I am always aware of my strengths and weaknesses when I participate in physical therapy.

I also appreciate the many and varied activities offered at Chestelm....cheerful group singing (my favorite), literature discussions, arts, computers, and spiritual needs. Chestelm has it all!
I have also found that it is rather easy to form a bond with the wonderful aides and nurses. They are all so compassionate. Some are blessed with a great sense of humor, which I find refreshing!
Chestelm has a clean and orderly environment. Workers do their best to provide a germ-free environment.

What I most remember of my stay at Chestelm is that warm greeting I received upon entering the lovely building. Smiles and welcoming hugs abound in this place!
When the weather gets warmer, the landscape is adorned with shrubs and flowers - a feast of greenery for the eyes. Most of our rooms had bird feeder out of each window. It was a joy to watch the tiny birds each morning.

I can testify to the fact that Chestelm Health and Rehab is an A+ facility."

- Jean W.

We are confident that Marjorie is getting excellent medical care. We are pleased that the professional keep us informed and consult with us. 

We have had experience in facilities that are much different so we know that at Chestelm the staff give 100% to Marjorie's care.

We would also like to recognize that food staff who serve wonderful food, tailored to the needs of each resident.

We are so happy we found you and cannot think of a better place for Marjorie in her time of need for full time care."

quotes
"For service, the stay was great. Staff did a very good job. The food was more than I ever thought it would be. Food was 4 Star! Therapy was great as well. Nice Job!"

- James S..

quotes
“There are times when a hospital stay is not sufficient for recovery. Chestelm offers an important boost for regaining strength using physical therapy and nutritious meals. The staff is helpful and friendly at all levels and CNAs show that they enjoy working with their patients. Our loved one, a stroke victim, arrived unable to use his limbs on the left side of his body. After several weeks of care the use of his arm and hand returned and he carefully takes several steps unaided. We never expected him to walk again and give credit to the CNAs and vanilla ice cream. We want to say Thank You to everyone"

- Elsie and Roger S.

quotes
“When I was told I needed to go to a rest home after my hospitalization, I told them only Chestelm or home. Everyone and everything has been A+. The staff, all the personnel are just great! My stay here has been like being on a holiday!”

- Sonia A. 

quotes
"I spent six weeks at Chestelm Health & Rehabilitation Center healing from a broken leg. During that time, I got to know many of the nurse assistants (CNA) and nurses very well. I consider many of them true friends. I was always treated with kindness and respect. Being home for a couple of weeks, I have become even more appreciative of my care at Chestelm Health & Rehabilitation Center. I have one issue with the therapy staff and CNAs – that they remember to tell patients what's on the calendar for that day. Some patients may not care, but I'm one who wants to be informed. Chestelm Health & Rehabilitation Center is a lovely older facility that is tastefully decorated. Chestelm Health & Rehabilitation Center has all the challenges of an older facility. The maintenance of the building and grounds is flawless and made me proud to be a resident. Chestelm Health & Rehabilitation Center serves the community of East Haddam and Connecticut in a variety of areas from Alzheimer's patients to folks like me who need a temporary place to heal." 

- Babara B.

quotes
"After seeing my aunt through several experiences at four different nursing facilities, I know a good one when I'm at Chestelm Health & Rehabilitation Center. There's a very "open-door" policy. Every request that I've made has been fully responded to, and everything is handled by their cheerful and professional staff and administrators. Every day my aunt surprises me by doing something she hasn't been able to do for 6 months. For her and me, it has been a complete turnaround."

- Veronica "Ronnie" Gilbert on behalf of Lillian Olup

quotes
“Just a quick note to tell you how much I love the family activities that Chestelm Health & Rehabilitation Center provides. Last year and this year – ‘Night on the Town, just wonderful, the food, the atmosphere, the entertainment'; From the Carol Sing-A-Longs at Christmas to the car show, cookout ... everything is wonderful. It’s family-friendly. Everyone is always hospitable. The Mother’s Day Tea was, again, wonderful. All the Moms (residents) with their hats were adorable. The decorations - Lilac and Lily of the Valley, just like springtime, but indoors. The food was delicious. The Harp was also delightful. Just subtle music in the background. The entertainment that Chestelm Health & Rehabilitation Center has for residents and families is wonderful. I think we made the right choice in choosing Chestelm Health & Rehabilitation Center for my mother to live.”

- Tish Jacobson

quotes
"I was pleased with the fine meals provided during my stay. Also, the members of the staff did good service and were very friendly."

- Janet A. Nichols

quotes
"Having recently gone through the rehab experience with a sister-in-law, I had first-hand knowledge of the care / environments provided by other facilities. When it came time for my own mother to have in­ patient rehab, we asked around for recommendations as I had not been happy with any of the care my sister-in-law had received. Chestelm Health & Rehabilitation Center was recommended more than once and came with accolades for care.
 
From preadmission to post-discharge, it has been an outstanding experience. Some of the things that impressed us favorably were: the expert nursing / general patient care, cleanliness and attractiveness, and "home-like" feel; convenient, well-equipped, and maintained; good communication was a goal; therapy staff was compassionate, well-trained and followed-through.
 
For my mom, the three best parts were the delicious meals, the ability to enjoy visits with our Golden Retriever, Chloe, and the hairstylist, who made her feel human again. We all were consistently treated with respect and compassion. My mother's return home was smooth, well-informed, and considerate of my mom and family’s needs and desires for short and long-term care.
 
We want to express thanks for a very rewarding experience in this friendly and happy place to heal."

- The Family of Doris B.

"To all you good people at the Chestelm Rehab facility: Thank you all for the great care you gave me when I stayed with you a couple of weeks in August. And the wonderful friendship you offered a recovering old man. I’m back working full time in my business, and I am looking forward to a few more years trying to make this world more beautiful, one home at the time."

- Sven R

quotes
"All the staff was very happily helpful to me the whole time I’ve been here. Everybody’s been so kind, helpful, pleasant. This has been a very, pleasant helpful time in my life when I needed it. I can say with great joy that I’ve had a pleasant experience here."

- Pauline M.
