I have had two visits for rehab at Village Shalom due to a couple of automobile accidents. Both times my rehabilitation was most successful and turned out to be a positive experience.
The first one was a few years ago. I immediately saw that one of my cousins was at Village Shalom. We had coincidentally been in the hospital about 60 years ago at the same time. At that time when he visited my room, I got him laughing and because he had just had an appendectomy, it caused him a lot of pain. I never saw him again during his hospital stay. During my recent stay at Village Shalom he and I spent most every day together amid the wonderful courtesy and treatment of the staff.
Well, a couple of years later my car and I were disabled once again. I was back at Village Shalom. A good friend was there and we had an enjoyable and humorous time. It seemed like we were back at camp. Again the care was very superior.
I’ve had occasion to visit a number of similar facilities and there really is no comparison with the attitude of the staff and the overall warmth and caring you find at Village Shalom. I feel very lucky that it is here and available.
The welcome news of the remodeling and new construction gave Shirley and me an opportunity to participate in the fundraising. We have been very proud of Village Shalom. The fact that it serves the entire community so well is an additional reason for our personal giving.
My brother Charles has been very involved with Village Shalom from the start, establishing a monthly and annual employee recognition program, as well as being responsible for an exceptional staff lounge, recognizing the value of the loyalty and unexcelled service provided to its residents.
We have been so fortunate with the leadership of Matt Lewis. Matt and his entire team keep Village Shalom as the outstanding place that it is.
I hope you will consider this an opportunity to help create these important new improvements.
