Diane Hayden, former resident at Delmar Center.
I was in terrible shape. I had been diagnosed with heart failure and was also struggling with wounds that just wouldn’t heal. When I was discharged and transferred to Delmar Center, I required a mechanical lift for all transfers. I felt helpless and hopeless.
My mood began to change as soon as I met the team at Delmar Center. At first, I relied on them completely—and they were there for me 24/7. And just as important as their medical and therapeutic excellence, they also had a positive attitude, which rubbed off on me.
When I arrived at Delmar Center, I was concerned that I would have to move into long-term care. But the team wouldn’t let that happen. I can now walk on my own with a walker and I’m completely independent. I returned home to my family just in time for Christmas! A great gift!

Mazella Schoenborn (as told by her daughter), former resident at Buffalo Center.
My mom was in pretty bad shape: weak, dizzy, with chest pain. She had problems with her heart. When she was admitted to Buffalo Center, I wasn’t sure she’d ever be able to come home.
The team there reassured me that they’d get her back home—and they did! Our whole family was very impressed with the care and love she received from the staff. They were very helpful, answering any questions we had. We are so thankful to the entire Buffalo Center team. Our mother is back home!

Hammonton, New Jersey
Meet Wyatt Sylvester, former resident at Hammonton Center.
I knew something was wrong with me: I had lost my appetite, I had shortness of breath and chest pains. Turns out I had Chronic Renal Failure—my kidney function had dropped to 20%. I was frightened. I couldn’t function on my own. I needed help.
That’s where Hammonton Center came in. They were so reassuring, promised to take care of me. They said I had nothing to fear, and they were right. Whatever I needed— special diet, physical therapy, activities—they answered the call. I’ve been in and out of nursing facilities for several years, and the team at Hammonton Center is far and away the best. I feel much stronger—mentally, emotionally and physically. They made me feel so safe!

Meet Lawrence Cannone, former resident at Kingston Center.
I woke up in the middle of the night to a loud banging on the door, my apartment filled with smoke. The place was on fire, and I was lucky to get out alive. Alive, but not well. I had a killer headache, I was dizzy, my heart was racing and I could hardly breathe. By the time the ambulance got me to the hospital, I had suffered a seizure and then lost consciousness. It turns out that I had inhaled a large amount of cyanide gas.
They put me on a respirator in the ICU. After two weeks in the hospital, they were ready to release me, but until I fully recovered I couldn’t work and I had no place to go. My apartment was obviously out of the question. I panicked. Was I going to be homeless?
Kingston Center came to the rescue. I was there for eleven months and they took care of everything I needed. Their Respiratory Management team is superb, dealing with all my medical issues. The fire messed my life up. Kingston Center put it back together.

Topeka, Kansas
Meet Michael Coughlin, former resident at Topeka Center.
I was in terrible shape. I had no strength or stamina. Walking was out of the question. I was bedridden. My doctor said I needed to go to a rehab facility, but I wasn’t thrilled by the idea.
The Topeka Center team eased my fears. They were personable and always friendly. All of my needs were met. The therapy was tremendous. We set goals and achieved them with hard work. Also, I want to add that my room was great, very comfortable. In short, my stay was excellent. If not for the Topeka Center team, I wouldn’t be home now.
I have done great and I’m still at home 5 months later!
