Holden Rehab and Nursing Center

Mr. Oriol, I wish to commend you on the great nursing care in the Holden Rehabilitation and Nursing Center, and for all the love and compassion all of your staff gave to my husband Howard H. in the 3 1/2 months he was in their care.

My family and I wish to express once again our gratitude and appreciation to the entire staff at Holden Nursing and Rehab for the wonderful and loving care extended to Mike during his one and a half years' stay there. All of Mike's needs were attended to in a friendly, courteous and professional manner.

Mike was able to establish many warm, personal relationships which helped to ease the difficult transition from home. Our family was made to feel welcome at all times. We feel blessed that we chose Holden Nursing and Rehab for Mike and will be forever grateful to everyone there who took great care of him.

Family Grateful for Nursing Home Experience

Nowadays, stories about poor nursing home care are widespread in the newspapers and on television. It is very disheartening to hear of someone's loved one falling victim to a poorly run facility, not receiving the medication, attention or general care that he or she needs.

Holden Nursing Home has given us a wonderful nursing home story to share. It was unfortunate this wonderful experience culminated in the death of our mother, Frances D., but we all feel comforted knowing she was in such capable and caring hands at the end of her life.

The entire staff at Holden Nursing Home was phenomenal. They knew how to make her laugh, get her to eat and to take her medication. And they were pros at dealing with her difficult personality due to dementia. After my mother suffered a life threatening heart attack three weeks before her death, they cried with us, comforted us and held our hands while we tried to deal with the imminent death of our mother.

We give our most heartfelt thanks to the Holden Nursing Home staff. They took great care of our mother that lessened our burden, and they gave her the respect and the dignity that every nursing home patient should receive. Our hearts go out to them and we will never forget their kindnesses to our mother and friendships to us, especially in her final days.

The Oriols should be proud of the quality care their facility delivers and their wonderful staff.

Jean F. L. & the family of Francis D., Holden

Dear Terry,

We would like to take a moment to express our sincere appreciation for the wonderful care that our mother, Jean H. received while in your facility. You have a dedicated, kind, caring and skilled group of individuals in your employment.

Throughout the last 5 years, but especially over the last few weeks, your staff provided such comfort to Mom and to our family. They were compassionate and accommodating. We are sure that in the last days, we were in the way and perhaps interfered with routine and traffic, but we were never made to feel that way. They provided comfort and caring, not only to our mother but to us all.

Although there are many wonderful individuals who cared for Mom, we feel it is important to name several special people who we noticed were closest to her and to us. Rebecca and Maryann met her daily needs and cared for her as they would their own mother. Lynn gently and carefully made her last day comfortable. Bonnie, Sarah, Martha, Felicity and Shayna provided excellent nursing care as well as comforting the family during this difficult time. Last but not least, Sheila who has been there through some very difficult times and always on top of things. She is a great nurse and asset to your "family" and has been a blessing to ours. Please be assured that although we have not mentioned everyone by name, their acts of kindness have not gone unnoticed and for that, we will be eternally grateful. You should be very proud of them all.

Thank you again for all you have done.

Sincerely,
Beth, Nancy, Wendy, Paul & David
The family of Jean H.
