“I wish to commend the entire staff who worked with us in rehab. I was a physical and mental wreck when I arrived there in early June. I was worked daily with great concentration and enthusiasm from every staff member. When I left in early September, my speech and handwriting were vastly improved and the staff made sure that I cleared all of the benchmarks necessary for my release. All were kind, caring, and professional in their respective disciplines, and when left I was ready to handle pretty much anything.
The food service and the housekeeping staff were also wonderful folks; smiling, engaging in humorous banter, and never forgetting that we, the patients, were the focus of their work. I also can’t give enough praise to the Nursing staff on the Brain Injury unit. They functioned with alacrity and good humor no matter what the situation or time of day. I still think fondly of my time in St. Camillus and would recommend the establishment very highly to anyone who asked me about it.”

Watch How
“My PTA, Missy Kruszelnicki, and my COTA, Morgan Walsh, were very good and helped me get strong. It was hard at first, but I did all the exercises. All the other helpers were also very good.”
“I wish to thank St. Camillus administration, doctors, KB Unit, occupational therapy and physical therapy for the tender loving care provided to me during my 2 ½ month stay. Everyone was caring, thoughtful, considerate and supportive. It has been a journey and I couldn’t have done it without your team. I consider myself blessed to have been a patient at your facility.”
