Glenbrook

There are few words that truly capture my deep gratitude for Glenbrook. Having had prior (and often difficult) experiences with skilled nursing facilities while caring for my uncle, we were honestly terrified when it came time to place my dad—83 years old and our walking miracle—into rehab care. But Glenbrook exceeded every expectation. If most skilled nursing homes top out at two stars, at best, Glenbrook deserves seven! The staff went above and beyond at EVERY turn. The facility itself is beautiful, but more importantly, the care is exceptional. Every nursing technician, including PT/OT, treated my dad—and our whole family—with dignity, patience, and expertise. We never felt like just a room number or a body in a bed. We felt like part of a community. Even the food was amazing! We spent afternoons outside with my dad, watching hummingbirds and doves by the fountain. The entire space felt peaceful and healing. There were some medical bumps in the road for my dad, but Glenbrook was by our side the whole way. Over the course of five weeks, we experienced something rare in healthcare: consistent, compassionate, quality care. We are home now and he is cruising up and down the stairs with safety, skills, recovery, and confidence he gained at Glenbrook. Every skilled nursing facility should look to Glenbrook as the gold standard. I don’t know what’s in their water, what their “secret sauce” is, or how they’ve managed to build such a cohesive, mindful, and expert team—but I’m endlessly grateful they did. If this review sounds over-the-top or too "gushy," it's because I really (really) know what's out there. —Alison C.

My brother had an exceptional healing experience in skilled nursing following a hospitalization. Arlene in the Physical Therapy department was so encouraging as he had lost considerable muscle mass and noticeably improved with her support. His nurse, Beulah, among others not only gave him the best of care but also delighted him with smiles and humor! My brother really loved the food and even asked for a recipe from Peter, the Director of Food and nutrition! My brother was truly blessed to be admitted to Glenbrook.

This was not my first Rehabilitation experience, but was definitely my best experience. The nursing staff and the therapy staff were exceptional. And they helped arrange my Dr. appointments. OT and Pt staff gave me a great support. I felt respected and cared for every minute of every day. I had a private Caregiver during part of my stay at GlenBrook and she was also treated with respect. By the time I returned home I was both physically and emotionally better. I would not hesitate to recommend GlenBrook to a friend.

My husband, Philip is currently in your skilled nursing. There are no words to describe how wonderful the care is that he is receiving. The staff is so competent and knowledgeable. They all are “truly skilled”.The food is also first class! Glen Brook deserves its wonderful reputation. The administration and nursing staff have created an exceptional environment for healing which includes family members. A special thanks to Dr. Rubino, Grace, Nancy and all the crew that is taking such good of Philip.

My husband had a fall with Parkinson’s and he needed rehab after 5 days at Scripps Memorial. We were very pleased with the care and Therapy he received! Everyone of the staff were very attentive and help! Afrin was efficient in checking my husband in and explained everything to the tee. Joanne a Admissions showed me the facility and explained everything well. We are so happy not to have gone to another farther facility. His prescription meds were dispensed and given to my husband with care. Sara greeted us with open arms, Angel is a sweethart with professionalism and care, all the other staff including Edwin was all highly impressive. Hubby says he feels stronger than before he came to Glenbrook. Not a complaint at all compared to 1 other facility we were at 3 years ago! Food was also good! Just a great place to rehab and get back on track🌺
