My father was sent to Whittier after quite a lengthy stay in the hospital from . We honestly didnt know what to expect and we all were so impressed with the care and compassion he received from everyone there. He was excited to get back up and moving and on the path to rehabilitation, and everything and everyone there was phenomenal. He is home now and cannot say enough about how thrilled he was with the care received, and neither can we. I would 100% trust my loved ones in their care .

All of the staff - doctors, nurses, CNAs, and therapists (OT & PT) are helpful. The facility is clean and the food is good. Having a positive experience at this rehab.

Okay, listen the humans here come out healthier, happier, and walking straighter than ever. The staff are basically wizards in scrubs: kind, attentive, and always ready with encouragement and snacks (for them, not for dogs, unfortunately). If only dogs were allowed inside

But the yard? A masterpiece. Grassy, peaceful, full of sunshine and perfect for chasing tennis balls, contemplating life, squirrels, and injustice. So yes 10/10 place for humans in recovery. But until they install a four-paw guest policy, Ill be outside, wagging in protest.

Whittier Rehab has been such a positive force in my brother Toms recovery post brain surgery. The gains my brother has been able to achieve are because of the dedication and attention they poured into him! All of the therapists: Occupational, Physical, and Speech are all caring and patient individuals who truly care about their patients safety and progress, we are so thankful to them all! Drs Breen and Ligouri have been instrumental in getting Tom the correct therapy and management to keep him moving forward in his ongoing recovery.

They truly are amazing physicians who care for each of their patients. Jolene and Paula are two of the finest, caring nurses we have ever encountered, and it is such a pleasure to see them and work with them. We are a Whittier family for life!

My husband recuperated here after a recent surgery. From the moment he arrived, he and I felt reassured that he was in very good hands. The staff was professional, attentive, and kind. Therapists, doctors, and nurses were outstanding in providing both care and information. Every aspect of my husbands recovery was addressed, treated, and resolved to our great satisfaction. We cant say enough positive things about Whittier Rehab! So very grateful for the high quality of patient care and family support!

My dad was inpatient at Whittier Rehab in Bradford He expressed he was very pleased with his care during his stay. I am a daughter who lives out of state and relied on phone calls to check in on him. I was very impressed with each staff member I interacted with. Whether it be a case worker, therapist, nurse or social worker I was always treated with respect and professionalism. Each staff member was willing to give me their time to update me on my dads progress and answer all my questions or concerns.

I was also invited to conference in on meetings with his care team. Many thanks to all who took such good care of my dad. He was able to return home today in good spirits and feeling more like himself. Thanks again to a great staff.
