Reviews of Our Skilled Care and Rehabilitation
5 out of 5 star
My mother has not been a resident for long, but so far we have been very happy with her care. She seems to be adjusting to her new home and we feel she is being taken care of in a safe, professional environment. The only improvement that we can suggest is better communication with her family regarding her health care.

My elderly mother was in Chandler Hall in May/early June of this year for Rehabilitation. After a very poor Rehab experience at another local facility in late 2023/early 2024, we were blown away by the exceptional experience we had at Chandler Hall. From the nurses, nursing assistants to the social worker, Christina, the therapists, nurse practitioner, nutritionist, administrators, there was not a person we encountered who was not excellent, committed and professional. When my mom was discharged, we had everything we needed to get her home safely.
We had a meeting a few days prior to her discharge, and I was so impressed at how well the staff knew her case and made sure she got the best care possible. At the previous facility, it took a week to get an X-ray and bloodwork. When my mom developed a new condition at Chandler Hall, it was one day to get an X-ray and bloodwork with results available the next day. The Nurse Practitioner immediately addressed the issue and prescribed the required medication.

This review is long over due. My wife has been out of CH rehab for several weeks now and I haven’t had the time to write. There’s not enough good to say about Chandler Hall. The staff is incredibly dedicated in every position filled. My wife, who was in for a broken hip, was supported by aides who were cheerful and enjoyed engaging her in conversation if she so desired. They were always at the ready to come to her aid. Under staffing did not seen to be an issue. Cleanliness is a priority and the omnipresent, continuous unpleasant odors that often go with the rehab territory are not present there. Most importantly, the rehab team was fantastic. Accommodating yet dedicated. Gentle and kind but always getting the patient to push the envelope. Special note of appreciation for Jason since he did most of the rehab sessions.
We didn’t realize that once your recovery time is up at the hospital, you have to more or less decide on the spot where you want to go. We had little information to go on when we chose Chandler Hall and feel it’s a stroke of luck that we’ve gotten out of an otherwise difficult time

The staff are kind, caring, and knowledgeable. The skilled nursing, and rehab facility were exactly what we needed. When touring and deciding on places – Chandler Hall – rose above the rest. Smaller, cleaner, and well staffed. Look no further.

This is one of the most nicest Senior Living homes I’ve been too. I enjoyed working with the skilled nursing department and they care about their patients.

I was so impressed with the nursing staff here. We were at hospice for 10 days to 2 weeks with my dad and the staff didn’t have it easy with him. They really made the best of it and treated us so well, as we were all devastated by his disease that took him way before he was ready.
In particular Donna a nurse who worked with Dad, and us was so thoughtful and genuine. Other nurses were great too, I don’t have everybody’s name but the director was also knowledgeable and wonderful.
I would recommend Chandler Hall to anyone who is dealing with the end of life with a loved one.
