“The Aids are very nice and caring. The conflict comes in when questioned about PT and OT, I was told my mom would get 1 hr. Of PT and an hr of OT. My mom , with difficulty was able to walk when she went in, but because of lack of therapy and onset dementia after 2 months of being at the Sherill House, she was not able to walk when she returned home.

“My mother received excellent care here. She had been hospitalized three times and went to one rehab prior to coming to the Sherrill House. The Sherrill House had my mother walking, feeding herself and using the bathroom alone again! It was amazing. The staff is friendly and hard working and my mother even had great things to say about the food for the most part.”
