REVIEWS

My brother entered Sunnybrook for rehab services, then transferred to the long-term care (nursing) section several weeks later. He is now a permanent resident by choice as we are highly satisfied with the level of care he receives for his Parkinson's with dementia condition. The staff is approachable, friendly, and caring. From the CNAs to the nurses, along with the therapists, kitchen crew, and other support staff, we know that the environment is strong. Importantly, my brother has shown improvement since he first entered, thanks to a dedicated team of professionals.

My mother has dementia and she was in an unfortunate situation at another rehabilitation center earlier this year. Unable to care or advocate for herself, my mother was hospitalized twice and our family thought for sure her days were numbered. Certainly, her quality of life was at rock bottom. When my sister and I found Sunnybrook Rehabilitation Center in Raleigh, we found an incredibly talented and loving staff and administration that cares for my mother with compassion, sensitivity, and professionalism. We appreciate all the attention the administrative staff gave us in helping my mom transfer to Sunnybrook. And once she was transferred, we've been nothing but amazed. While my mother's dementia is irreversible, her quality of life has continued to improve each and everyday. She loves the attention she gets from the wonderful staff at Sunnybrook. I should also add that she loves the food. Thank you, Sunnybrook Rehabilitation Center for taking such good care of my mother and for giving us peace of mind.
