Our Lady's Haven Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitative Care

I would like to thank the staff of Our Lady’s Haven on behalf of my sister. The nine days that she was in your care you showed such kindness and caring that made the last days of her life comfortable and pain free. Everyone was exceptional and please express my thanks to everyone for their kindness.

Although we were not there at the end of Dad’s life, we knew he was getting the best care ever provided by Our Lady’s Haven nursing home. While he was there only a short while, you all felt like family and it’s family you rely on at times like these. We cannot thank you enough, and I know Dad loved and respected all of you.

We wanted to thank all of you at Our Lady’s Haven for your loving care to our mother. You all treated her and loved her like a family member which gave all of us peace of mind knowing she was in caring hands when we were not there. We will miss her terribly and I know you all will too.

I wanted to drop you a short note to say thank you for the wonderful care my mother received while residing at OLH. Every single staff member, from the cleaning staff, nurses, support staff and the Doctor’s showed nothing but love, kindness and compassion to my mother.

I cannot say enough about the nursing home. The exceptional care and kindness she received did not go unnoticed. Please accept my heartfelt gratitude for the unwavering dedication and compassionate care shown by your staff.

My mother was not herself towards the end and the staff more than stepped up to ease her anxieties and fears. I am forever grateful.


Thank you, thank you, thank you and God Bless you all.
