My mom came to Linwood after having pneumonia. She was struggling to stand on her own and walk. From day one their therapy team had my mom walking and getting stronger every day! The aids and nurses were also fantastic! I cannot recommend this facility enough! My mom is better than she’s been in a very long time! Thank you Linwood Nursing and Rehab you guys are first class!
My mom went to Linwood for rehab post 2 falls at home. The PT Dept did a great job with her rehab and had her up and moving within several weeks. They were very encouraging . The nursing and Social Work staff was very kind and caring and helped her adjust to living at the facility. She enjoyed Dave’s singing and guitar playing, Laura in activities is always looking for fun new ways to entertain the residents and make them smile. She loved seeing the pets that would come through to visit with the residents, especially Minnie the Mooch! Linwood is a small, homelike setting and we are very grateful for the excellent care given to our mom, most especially in her final days. Thank you to your wonderful staff.
Our 91 year old mother was recently at Linwood for rehab after she fell and broke her arm and pelvis. The entire staff at Linwood is fabulous, the physical therapists were wonderful and helped my mom get back on her feet. The nursing team, administrators and social services were also wonderful and very helpful from her admissions through her discharge. They have daily events and activities for the guests that are very engaging and quite honestly a nice touch at what is a difficult time in life. The facility / rooms are very nice, clean and modern. From the first moments at Linwood our family felt she was at the right place to get her on the road to recovery.
My mother in law was a quest for almost 2 years. I actually should say that she became a member of the Linwood Family during that time. Mom enjoyed her time at Linwood. She especially enjoyed all the daily activities, singing of songs and the reciting of the Rosary, as she was very religious. She made many new friends and received the socialization that she was missing. The entire staff treated her with respect and dignity. The love and compassion that was shown to her at the end of her life will never be forgotten by her family. Our family can not thank the Linwood Family enough for their tremendous care.
I have to share my experiences with everyone regarding lindwood facility. My family and I are so thrilled with the care our mom is receiving there. The nursing staff couldn’t be anymore attentive to her medical needs and they are all so caring. The aids there are wonderful. I feel as though I’ve known them so long and it’s only been a year. I couldn’t say anything bad about Linwood I always tell them to save me a bed when it’s my turn. I also want to say that Danielle In the office. She couldn’t be more caring and so so helpful to get my moms financial part She is so wonderful. I have to say I love them all
