President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself". Try telling that to a vulnerable senior citizen faced with the reality that they need to enter a nursing home or a rehabilitation center. My best friend, who is also my wife, hurt her leg recently. After leaving the hospital with her leg immobilized, we were faced with the dilemma of searching for a facility that would accommodate all her numerous needs. It truly presents a challenge. We were searching for quality nursing care, Physical therapy, occupational therapy, kosher meals, capable aids, recreational programs, etc. Most important was that the staff maintain a very high level of compassion, as seniors have a very high level of anxiety. After conducting a very extensive and thorough search, which included inquiries from friends who were in this facility, we chose Elizabeth Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. The transition of going from the privacy of your own home to a home away from home can be very frightening. However, we quickly learned that President Roosevelt's statement was 100% correct. As Dorothy so eloquently stated, she's not in Kansas anymore, and my best friend is not in Hillside anymore. While the two of them would agree that there's no place like home, Dorothy enjoyed her adventure at her temporary home in Oz, and my wife is thriving beautifully in her new surroundings at Elizabeth Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.

I cannot thank the staff and nurses here enough! My father in law has been in Colombia for 2 weeks now and is getting stronger everyday! He is doing amazing! Im so thankful to the Lord that he was here and got all the help he needed! Plus he does PT on his own now! He is walking a lot and has a great appetite as well! My God bless each and every one of you! We cannot thank you enough!!🙏❤️
Since my father being here at the rehab . The nurses and rehab therapist are very helpful and work extremely hard to ensure my father has the best recovery and return back home to Colombia south America. Update my dad officially is in colombia as of 26 feb 2026 .if there was a rating of more than 5 .I was rate higher. I would like to extend My gratitude to the nurses and CNA's abs administration there in the first and second floors . I was impressed another. Would recommend to be there if needed
I had a really positive experience during my rehabilitation stay. The staff was kind, patient, and always willing to help. They made me feel safe, supported, and encouraged every step of the way. Therapy was challenging but in a good way, and the therapists really knew how to motivate me without making me feel overwhelmed. The nurses were attentive and quick to respond whenever I needed anything. The facility was clean, the environment was calm, and I truly felt cared for. I left feeling stronger, more confident, and grateful for everyone who helped me get there. I would definitely recommend this rehab to anyone who needs good care and a supportive team.
From the moment you walk through the doors, it’s clear that this facility is built on genuine care and warmth. Every member of the team—from the owners and administrators to the nursing staff and even the housekeeping department—goes above and beyond to make the environment feel like a true home for the residents. The kindness, patience, and professionalism shown here are exceptional. You can feel the positive energy throughout the building: staff members greet residents by name, treat families with compassion, and support one another to ensure the highest level of care. Even the maintenance and cleaning staff contribute to the welcoming atmosphere, always offering a friendly smile and lending a hand whenever needed. It’s rare to find a place where every level of the organization is so invested in creating a safe, comfortable, and uplifting environment. This facility genuinely feels like a family, and it shows in the way residents are cared for each and every day. Highly recommended.
