“I was a patient at Andover Forest Rehab for two weeks just before Christmas. My stay was very pleasant, the Nurses, CNAs, Physical Therapists, were amazing. Very attentive and caring. The administration department was also helpful and attentive. From the time I walked in until I was discharged I felt comfortable. Excellent staff, I would recommend Andover Forest.”

“I had the privilege of being transferred to Andover Forest for long term IV antibiotic treatment. During my stay, the staff was alert, attentive and always on top of things. The nurses were exceptional, always explaining everything the whole step of the way. They treat their patients like top priority. I would definitely recommend Andover Forest to anyone who needs services offered by them”
