Whittier rehab is very respectable. I know some of the doctors, some of the people from rehab. My experience was awesome. I liked all of the people that helped me. They were very knowledgeable, very respectable. And Whittier rehab is the only rehab that I will ever go to because Whittier rehab is the best there is, best there was, and best there ever will be. Thank you for helping me with my issues especially the wound care unit. They know their stuff. Thank you.

I understand healthcare because it's been my life's endeavor. Whittier's rehabilitation facility was selected for my restoration, of a complex fractured hip, because it was geographically located near my daughter's home. My preference would have been to be closer to my own home in Winchester. My daughter's choice, however, proved to be a God's send for my rehabilitation.
Here is my testimonial: "It is not the physical structure of a healthcare facility that is the most important factor to be considered when dealing with people who are in immediate need of rehabilitation. No, it is, without doubt, the healthcare professionals who have dedicated their careers to help others get well. Those professional, including executives, doctors, registered nurses, CNAs, physical and occupational therapist, students as well as custodial workers all played a major role in helping me get home to my surroundings where my rehabilitation will be continued." Thank you Lisa, my daughter who selected Whittier for my care, and special thanks to the dedicated caregivers who fulfilled their mission to care for patients with love and devotion. Bob Crisafi, Ph.

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 husband's recovery was addressed, treated, and resolved to our great satisfaction. We can't say enough positive things about Whittier Rehab! So very grateful for the high quality of patient care and family support!

My daughter was recently in a serious ski accident. Post surgery, and after a one month hospital stay, she was transferred to Whittier rehab in Bradford. We could not have been happier or more satisfied with the level of care, patience and kindness that she received. From the initial care coordinators to Drs Ligouri and Pant, the nurses and CNAs, as well as the outstanding work with Victoria from PT, and Emmarose from OT, she couldnt have been in better hands while at Whittier. She learned the tools to become mobile again and is on her way to full recovery.

I was happy that when I called about a concern I had with my right knee replacement that I got an appointment the very next day. I was happy that the 3 out of 4 staff members that I saw were staff that I had almost 3 years ago. I was really glad that l had the same PA. After our conversation, he gave me the confidence I needed that I had no problem happening with that knee. I can always trust Whittier Rehab Hospital for my needs. Thank You again!!

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.

My 91 year old mother spent two weeks at Whittier after having surgery for an obstructed bowel. She got excellent care from the nursing staff regarding her incision, physical and occupational therapy that helped her get stronger and manage her own care too! She is now home and feeling better every day!

My brother was at Whittier in Bradford. The nurses, PT, nutritionist & Dr Pant & Dr Lynn were amazing! Such great care. They understood my brother was near passing & I did not want my brother moved. We had hospice care along with the staff at Whittier. I am very happy he passed away in peace. Thank you again for the great care & compassion.
