\"\"“Westgate Hills Rehab is an excellent facility. This is my second time here due to my knee surgery, and I wouldn\u2019t go anywhere else to receive physical therapy. The staff works really hard and help me to achieve my goals. I appreciate Surat with physical therapy at Westgate Hills, for giving me that extra push I would like to say thank you to all of the staff.”<\/p>\n

\"\"“My therapy team that I had during my stay at Westgate Hills Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center was awesome. I informed my team during my evaluation that I would like to gain some of my mobility back and strengthen my balance so that I can get back home. I had the chance to work with different mobility devices that helped assist me with my mobility and balance. My report card that was given to me by therapy, to inform me of the progress, made me happy. My report card was checked off and everything said, \u2018good to go.\u2019 I was thankful for that. Thank you to the therapy team at Westgate Hills.”<\/p>\n

\"\"“Westgate is a pretty nice facility. The nurses did a really good job making sure I got my medicine and checking on me. Therapy was very helpful, and the different exercises have made me able to move around a little more freely. The true test is when I get home, but I see the difference of the before and after. Everyone was very, very nice and I actually enjoyed myself. I really will miss this place and the staff. Thanks again to the nurses, PT, aides, and admissions. I would come back if I needed to!”<\/p>\n

\"\"“I came to Westgate Rehab on February 28th (2022). I had a trach, a feeding tube, I was on oxygen, and I couldn’t walk or use the bathroom on my own or get out of bed. I also have congestive heart failure and atrial fibrillation. The nurses made sure I got medicine every day. Now I can go to the bathroom on my own, eat regular food, I no longer have a trach or feeding tube, I am no longer on oxygen, and I can walk. I am blessed. The Westgate team helped me greatly. The whole building came together to support me with my needs. I would like  to thank Mr. Kevin for his patient admiration, the nursing team, the GNAs, the CNAs, Alvin, the ladies that are escorts, housekeeping, the front desk, maintenance, dietary, Ms. Liz, Andrea, Sandy, Jennifer, Lisa, and last but not least, therapy because without them I wouldn’t be able to go home. Therapy and the aftercare team met with my family and got me homecare. Because of this my journey will continue, and my path to recovery will be met. I would recommend this facility to anyone. I am actually walking. Thank you, team, for a job well done.”<\/p>\n

\"\"“If you are in need of PT\/OT look no further, Westgate Hill is the place. The therapists are prepared and deliver care with concern. As an older woman I expect respect and that’s what I got from the Westgate team. I didn’t know the difference between PT & OT, but I knew one thing for sure, they worked together to get the job done and I have regained my confidence as a result of that. I also appreciate the support of the other staff members as well. They all had a very positive spirit that was contagious. My heartfelt thanks to all the staff, but especially my therapy team. Great job, my needs have been met! Can’t forget the decorations and music during the holidays, totally lifted my spirits. I loved it all! Westgate definitely cares about the residents. ”<\/p>\n

\u201cWestgate is extremely clean and the staff is wonderful.  This is my second time being here and I recommend the PT\/OT therapists because of the outcomes! They have patience, passion, kindness and are truly optimistic.  They have given me everything I need to transition home. The aides, nurses, concierge and just about the entire staff have treated me with dignity. I enjoyed being here and although I don’t want to come back, if I need to I will because I trust this team.  Thank you, Westgate!  You’re my home away from home. If you need therapy, Westgate is it!\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"“I want to start by saying a huge thank you to all of those who cared for my wife, Nancy Coggiano. It’s hard on a loved one’s mind when they have to be separated from their loved ones. I found the care that I would be giving my wife being done for her there at Westgate Hills. I didn’t have the worries that I had experienced at other so called rehab centers. The staff at Westgate Hills was like our extended family, they cared for my wife, like she was their family. People looking for a place to care for their loved ones should come to see a loving, caring staff, and know in their hearts that their loved ones will be in great hands while away from family at home. I was in touch with the staff when I couldn’t be there, they would call me to let me know how my wife was doing. I actually miss seeing my family who work there. I want to send a very special thank you to Toni, and Jacob who showed above and beyond care for my wife, as well as Tanara, and all of the social workers there, and let’s not leave out the therapist there. I had a chance to see how things were done there when adverse conditions popped up, things continued to function like a well-oiled machine. From the time you enter the lobby, until the time you leave to go home you are treated with kindness, and respect. My wife being there was a blessing for both of us, so we could be together again at home. Anyone who needs the special care that they give there, feel very comfortable that they are caring, and loving your loved ones continuously, like you would do for them if they were in your care, plus the Rehabilitation staff that gets your loved ones ready to come home when possible. Westgate Hills should have a special rating when you\u2019re looking for that one place that you can trust with your loved ones, I was amazed by the amount, and quality of care they give there. Look no further – call them and start to feel the relief that I felt in my heart. Thank you to the wonderful staff, “Family\u201d, there from myself, and my Wife.<\/p>\n

Sincerely,
\nNick and Nancy Coggiano”<\/em><\/div>\n

\"\"“Westgate was a positive experience for me.  This nursing home\/rehab is not what you think.  Everyone was kind and patient.  I learned so much from therapy as well as the nursing staff.  The ladies here work very hard day in and day out.  Therapy has helped me get the strength I need to continue my rehab after my surgery.  I would like to thank so many people at Westgate.  Just know, from the minute you come in, you are greeted and taken care of until you leave.  I will miss Westgate, but I will be back after my surgery.  I wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else.”<\/p>\n

\"\"“I\u2019ve been here for 2 years and it has helped me a lot. I\u2019m glad I didn\u2019t rush home because I needed to get well. Being here taught me how to be patient with myself and the staff has really helped me. I would like to give kudos to Ruth, my GNA, who really took good care of me. She checked on me when I was sick and made sure I was okay. Mrs. Barbara in activities has always been a good listener, as well as Janeen with her jokes and humor. I want to thank all of the Activities department; they\u2019ve truly helped me. I want to thank my social worker, Mrs. Carla; she has taken her time to help me with any questions I have and has really helped me through this process to get me home. I want to thank the housekeeping dept. for keeping my room clean and smelling fresh. I didn\u2019t know Administrator Reilly long but he gave me respect and I gave him respect. The Dietary dept. always made sure I had my salad and diet ginger ale after my dialysis tx. My GNA, Daphene has stuck with me through thick and thin; she went with me to all of my appointments. My two nurses, Carmella and Sharon, made sure all my meds were given to me, and even when I would be late they would always say \u201cI\u2019m here for you Ms. White, I\u2019m going to make sure you get your meds.\u201d My night nurse, Comfort, made sure my blood sugars were where it was supposed to be; she\u2019s the only one I allowed to call me by my nickname \u201cBling Bling\u201d.
\nLastly, Westgate has been family to me when I couldn\u2019t be with my family and I appreciate them so much!<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

My Social Worker Carla was so wonderful, she was such a blessing. I really cannot say anything bad about Westgate Hills. Everything was great. I enjoyed my stay at Westgate Hills.

\nThank you for being my family.<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\"\"“The encouragement of the therapists during my rehab stay was unbelievable. Renee, Lauren, Edwin and the rest of the therapy team invited me into the Rehab Gym every day during my appointment time. I enjoyed talking with the other residents in the community, we had good conversations and joked around. Edwin would dance and the music was turned up. We had a good time!
\nI enjoyed the activities. Every day at 2:30 pm was the main event. One day, they even had a singer dressed up like Michael Jackson! It was so nice to sit back and enjoy the music with the rest of the community. I looked forward to our Paint and Sip events and musical celebrations.
\nI am going to miss being around such a nice community. No one gets an individual shout-out \u2013 each and every one of my nurses and GNA\u2019s were fantastic!<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\"\"“I was admitted to Westgate Hills Rehab from University of Maryland Orthopedic and Rehab Center a couple of months back. The therapists worked with me day in and day out. It was grueling in the beginning. It was hard, and I did not look forward to the therapy. A couple of weeks in, my entire day revolved around therapy. I looked forward to going into the gym and working with Joe and Chaitali, my OT and PT. They believed in me and pushed me past my comfort zone when I was done trying.
\nThank you to all of the nurses and other staff members in the organization for doing your part in my recovery!<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\"\"“I found myself at the VA Hospital in July, and things were looking really bleak. I could not do anything for myself and I was down in the dumps emotionally.
\nComing to Westgate Hills has been the best decision for me. Nurse Marie went out of her way to make sure all of my needs were met. The social workers worked with me and assisted in guiding me. I am leaving Westgate in an entirely different frame of mind and body! I have only praise for the folks at Westgate Hills Rehab.”<\/p>\n

The love and care that was shown to me is something I will always remember. The maintenance members, dietary aides and even the directors stopped by to visit and make sure all was going smoothly. Special shout-out to my therapists for pushing me and showing me what I was capable of. When I came here I had some doubts, but I am walking out this door without a cane, crutch or walker!”<\/p>\n

\"Askins“When I came to Westgate from UM Midtown Hospital I could not even sit up on my own. Today I am going home and walking! All of my therapists were patient and caring, especially Surat.

\"O\u2019Carroll“Before the social worker at St. Agnes Hospital even opened her mouth to give me choices for rehab centers, I assured her \u201cI choose Westgate Hills\u201d!
\nI have had such great experiences each time I come back for rehab at Westgate. I am treated so well, get along with all of the employees, and have a good time joking around with the rehab therapists. Ms. Mollie, my favorite nurse is so dedicated. She is always patient, friendly and cheerful. The dietician, McKenzie is extra accommodating. I spoke with her about my food preferences and dietary needs. She continuously would stop in to check on me and just to simply say hello.”<\/p>\n

I felt like the nurses and techs really cared about me as an individual \u2013 they were concerned about my specific situation. George, the head nurse of my floor, made sure I had a bed that was comfortable for me and followed through also. The activities helped me focus on something other than the pain I was in … the ice cream socials and DJ Music Parties were awesome.<\/p>\n

\"\"“Nurse Sean came in to see me each afternoon when his shift came around. He is a true nurse, doing everything in his power to make me feel the most comfortable.
\nTherapy is amazing. Edwin is so so funny, he makes me laugh. On the days I did not feel like doing any therapy he would joke around, and in the end, I was motivated to do the exercises. Lauren was so wonderful, too.
\nRivka, the lady in the office, truly has the ability to lift people up when they are down \u2013 just speaking with her and the smile she greets you with put me in a good mood.
\nCarla, my social worker, was a huge help \u2013 she informed me of so many things I did not know were available to me.
\nI truthfully did not want to come to rehab, but looking back at my stay this was a positive decision. Thank you, Westgate, for making my rehab experience far better than I ever expected it could be!”<\/p>\n

I loved my accommodations in the private room that was available \u2013 I had my privacy and my family came to visit all the time. Going to rehab was the highlight of my day.

\n\u201cComing to a rehab center was scary for me. There was so much that was unknown to me. Who would be taking care of me, if I would like the people around me\u2026 I was pleasantly very surprised. The day I was admitted my Unit Manager Brigette came to welcome me. She made sure I was comfortable and answered all of my questions. I am sad to leave but will drop by and visit one of these days.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"MY EXPERIENCE AT WESTGATE WAS ENTIRELY POSITIVE!<\/strong>
\n\u201cThe Rehab Therapists know what they are doing and took really good care of me. I am going home much stronger than when I came in. I hope I never need to go to rehab again, but if I do it will be at Westgate Hills.”<\/p>\n

I AM LEAVING WESTGATE HILLS HEALED PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY.<\/strong>
\n\u201cSurat, my physical therapist has been my savior. I looked forward to PT every day. Surat has such a positive and optimistic way about her that doing my rehab was FUN! Also, Nurse George went above and beyond, making sure that all of my needs were attended to. He listened and really cared about me and my care. Thank you Westgate Hills, I will miss you!\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"I HOPE I NEVER NEED TO DO REHAB AGAIN, BUT IF I DO IT WILL BE AT WESTGATE HILLS!<\/strong>
\nNurse Jacob made sure that I had everything that I needed \u2013 whether it was an extra towel, my medication, a snack or anything else in between! The dignity and respect that he showed towards me made a big impact on my rehab stay at Westgate Hills.<\/p>\n

\"\"THE STAFF MEMBERS AT WESTGATE HILLS ARE STELLAR!<\/strong>
\n“I have made so many friends during my pleasant stay at Westgate Hills. Not only did I get to chat with my friendly neighbors here, but my granddaughter was even able to come. Halloween here was a great time! The party included snacks, games, fun and lots of joy. Of course, the best part was that my granddaughter was here with us. I can\u2019t wait to come back and visit again.”<\/p>\n

\"\"I FELT SO INCREDIBLY CARED FOR AND LOVED AT WESTGATE HILLS.<\/strong>
\nEveryone at Westgate Hills went out of their way for me. Each morning my GNA Lea came to my room and made up my hair for me. I recommend Westgate Hills to anyone in need of a rehab center and is looking for real customer service.<\/p>\n

\"\"THE PTs AND OTs ALWAYS GREETED ME WITH A FRIENDLY FACE.
\nFrom my experience at Westgate Hills, two things specifically stood out. First, the way my wife was always up, clean, dressed and ready for rehab each day; and not just my wife, but her roommate as well. Two, the way the staff at Westgate treats every resident according to their specific needs. It was such a beautiful feeling to see how much caring goes on there! It was amazing for me to see every time I came to visit.<\/p>\n

\"\"THE ENTIRE NURSING TEAM WAS SO CONSIDERATE & THOUGHTFUL TO ME.
\nMy Physical Therapist, Casey was the highlight of my stay at Westgate Hills. When I first arrived, I was overwhelmed with so many new people and surroundings. Casey explained everything to me \u2013 she was so thorough and patient. Her smile and sense of warmth calmed me and I knew I would be okay. The transportation program was INCREDIBLE for both me and my husband. Knowing that my husband James was coming to visit to spend time with me while I was recovering was extremely comforting. James did not have to worry about finding a way to come visit me, he simply called Tracy at the front desk and it was all taken care of.<\/p>\n

\"\"THE STAFF AT WESTGATE HILLS IS SO CARING & COMPASSIONATE!
\n\u201cThey tended to all my needs wholeheartedly and happily, truly treating me like their own family. My GNA, Jazz, was just fantastic! She cared for me in every way. The rehab team is fabulous, and though I came in to Westgate Hills in a wheelchair I am now walking out on my own two feet!\u201d<\/p>\n

I am walking because of the amazing therapists here at Westgate Hills. The entire staff is kind and attentive, and my wound nurse truly healed me. I recommend this place to anyone who needs therapy or nursing care. If I ever need to rehab again \u2013 I\u2019ll only do so at Westgate Hills!<\/p>\n

\"\"When I arrived at Westgate Hills I was nervous as I had never required the assistance of others in my life. I was scared I would never leave my wheelchair again! Due to the persistence and support of the amazing rehab and nursing team, I am proud to say I am up on my feet again!<\/p>\n

The Great Team at Westgate gave me my life back!!!<\/p>\n

\"\"Before I was admitted to Westgate Hills Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center I was immobile, very dependent on my spouse, and couldn\u2019t care for myself independently for over a year. When I arrived at Westgate I felt like angels were waiting for me. The therapy staff was AMAZING! The entire staff has believed in me. I truly feel I have entrusted my life to them. Within just 3 weeks of being here, I can now walk and climb steps.<\/p>\n

Rehab is the real deal at Westgate because they truly want to see people succeed. The nurses are both patient and compassionate. The aides have also been amazing in assisting me. I am forever grateful to Westgate Hills for helping me to get my life back!<\/p>\n

\"\"The environment at Westgate Hills is very homey and welcoming. The therapy department will take you from 0-100 with super attention and encouragement. I was treated with dignity and respect during my time at Westgate Hills. The therapy team makes it actually fun to rehabilitate and exercise. The staff is very encouraging and always smiling. I had amazing results from my time there and was taught many different ways to manage myself as well as different ways to exercise. All of the rehabilitation team was exceptional. The nursing staff was very detailed and compassionate as well. Many thanks to the compassionate team at Westgate Hills for all they did in preparing me for my return to home!<\/p>\n

\"\"I am so glad that the Westgate Hill\u2019s Urgent SNF\u2122 program was available to me in my time of need. When I arrived at the St. Agnes Emergency Room I was not ill enough to be admitted. Luckily, the hospital social worker was aware of a skilled stabilization opportunity through Westgate\u2019s Urgent SNF\u2122 program and presented it as an option to my son. I was admitted the same evening! My experience at Westgate Hills was a great one! From care to food to customer service\u2026I was well taken care of! Thank you Team Westgate Hills!<\/p>\n

I came to Westgate Hills for short-term rehab for strengthening. The rehab team was very motivating. Farah, my favorite therapist, was always willing to work with me. I needed strengthening in my legs which were very painful. Farah worked through my pain with me while exercising. She was always able to ease my pain. Farah always spoke to me and did not talk down to me. She was so loving and caring. The rest of the rehab team was very good as well. I just immediately had a bond with Farah. She was the very first face I would see every day. Thanks to Farah and the rehab team, I am so much stronger to go home and continue with my home health rehab.<\/p>\n

\"\"When I was admitted to Westgate Hills, I was bed bound. I was so down and did not want to participate in rehab because I had no hope of ever walking again. My therapy team never gave up on me. They continued to come in and encourage me to participate. I decided to give them a chance. I am almost ready to discharge to my new home. Thanks to my rehab team, I will be walking out of the facility. I have learned to never give up as anything is possible. I highly recommend Westgate Hills.<\/p>\n

\"\"I would like to thank the wonderful staff at Westgate Hills for the love and care they showed me during my recovery. I believe that my recovery was a lot faster due to the outstanding care I received. The nursing staff had a bedside manner beyond compare. Your therapy team helped me to walk again on my own; they knew how hard to push and when to stop. They worked with me with patience, care and love.<\/p>\n

My family can be picky at times but they were pleased with the care and kindness shown me during my stay.<\/p>\n

\"\"Westgate Hills has helped me out a whole lot! Residents and staff are very nice, pleasant, and a joy to be around. They are always willing to help when needed. If you need to go out for a doctor\u2019s appointment, everything is set up and taken care of. I was never bored as there was always something to do in activities. I enjoyed therapy as well!
