What our PATIENTS and their FAMILIES are saying…
Once that it became apparent that the US was not going to avoid this health crisis Cherry Brook was quick to implement safety protocols to keep their residents and staff safe. We are so thankful for this. My husband was tested and diagnosed with the Covid-19 virus. We were lucky that it was a relatively mild case and that he was able to recover from it. We have the frontline people at Cherry Brook to thank for that. Additionally, knowing that he was in excellent care definitely took away some of our worries. We were updated on his condition from frequent phone calls. It was also reassuring to know that we could call with our questions at any time. While we have been unable to have a contact visit with my husband during the virus, Cherry Brook has done their best to keep his spirits lifted and arrange for us to visit with him. They've also done their best to celebrate all of the holidays. They even had a special birthday cake made for him! We are happy that they've established a way that we can have weekly socially distant visits with him outside, while they make sure that everyone stays safe. All visitors are screened upon arrival, and they have set up the patio visitation area in a way that insures social distancing. Again, the Frontline workers go above and beyond to chaperone these visits, and make sure that he is comfortable and to help him out when he needs it, all while ensuring everyone's health safety. My family and I cannot say enough about how much we truly appreciate everyone at Cherry Brook Health Care Center. We couldn't have chosen a better place to provide my husband with excellent healthcare, kindness, compassion and love. Thank you all for everything that you do.
My family and I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the frontline workers at Cherry Brook Health Care Center for the exceptional care that they have provided for my husband. When the decision was made that he required more care than we could give him at home, we researched many facilities. When speaking with other families and people in the health care field Cherry Brook was mentioned time and time again as one of the best. From the minute we stepped foot in Cherry Brook we were made to feel welcomed. We have never regretted our choice of choosing Cherry Brook to care for him. He has been a resident for almost three years and has received excellent care. But just as importantly, the atmosphere is one of kindness, positivity and compassion. The entire staff treats my husband like family. As difficult as it is to place a loved one in other people's care, it's reassuring to know that everyone at Cherry Brook goes the extra mile to make sure that he feels comfortable and stays healthy, especially during this pandemic.
My mom, Elizabeth Partyka has been a resident of Cherry Brook for about 16 months now, she turned 100 years old in February of this year. February 29th was the last time our family was together with her to celebrate her amazing life. Then in March, COVID turned everyone’s daily life upside down. So began the great task for Cherry Brook staff, they worked tirelessly to keep all our loved ones safe. This was done with grace, love, and bravery. Elizabet, became a positive COVID patient and has recovered only because of staff and mom’s determination. How does this family put into words our gratitude? Only with our verbal praise and our actions. We look forward to hugging mom and thanking staff in person.
