Here's just a few comments from our patients:

"Thank you so much for the care and love you showered upon my mother, Margaret B. Your attentiveness and love towards her was very sincere and much appreciated. I will never forget each and every one of you. You will always be in my heart and prayers. I am looking forward to seeing you all on occasion, in the future. May God bless you all for serving in the simplest and most needed way. You truly treated Margaret as family."

"My name is Frank D., I want to take the opportunity to let you know that the residents of AristaCare at Alameda want to thank all of you for doing such a great job. Amy, since you came, there have been a lot of good changes in recreation; please don't forget I like to go shopping at least once a month! The entertainers have been great, keep them coming! Keep up the good work!"

~ Frank D.

"That was so nice of all of you. Thanks to all of you for making Mom's 3½ years so great. She really felt it was her home and you were so kind to her in her last, long weeks."

~ Paul & Diane B.

"I want to take some time to thank you, Mrs. Cohen and Dvora Cohen and the other owners for the beautifications going on in AristaCare at Alameda Center. Thank you for the new windows, the new air conditioner units; I won’t have cold air coming in this winter, and the new face of our building.

The recreation department is doing very good. The nurses aides and the dietary department deserves credit too! April and Lina, the social workers, are doing a good job.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Therapy Department for a good job. Each and everyone of you were very helpful and inspiring to me. A couple of weeks ago I was in physical therapy and I performed excellent! I want to thank all of you again. Special thanks to Michael, Ramaljeet and Tina.

I am sure everyone else appreciates all the changes going on too!"

"I’d like to take the time to share the experience that I had here at Alameda Center. It was when I got here that I had no hope in getting better. It wasn’t until I met the staff, they showed me that they care and also the director stated I would get better physically and emotionally. The staff here listened to me and worked with me to resolve the issues that I had in my process of recovery. The staff that worked with me directly are very special to me and I will never forget them. I truly believe that AristaCare at Alameda Center is just like one big happy family."
