Dear Workers at The Guilford House:
Because of all of you the Guilford House is an unbelievable, incredible place. Starting at the top, the owners are on site daily and get to know all the patients by name and condition. I think if they were asked, they would stand on their heads to make a patient happy. Once when I wasn’t able to eat the wonderful meals provided, Cal asked what I might like to try. I said “Maybe a poached egg”. He went down to the kitchen right then to cook it. Another time, I saw some root beer and mentioned it brought back memories of childhood. A short time later Cal arrived with a root beer-float for me. The nurses were pleasant, sympathetic, efficient and knowledgeable. The nurses’ aids, who have the constant care of the patients, were dedicated. If anyone gets to Heaven it will be they.
One night when I was in terrible pain, I actually prayed that Eileen would be my nurse. I loved so many of them but can’t remember all their names. There was “Precious” the girl with the beautiful hair, the girl with four children, Lynn, and all who helped me. They are God’s angels for sure. The cooks are outstanding. The gourmet meals – and such a choice was works of art, not only delicious but artfully presented. Bernadette, the hairdresser manipulated several wheel chairs in her small room, and magically beautifully fixed everyone’s hair. The housekeeping crew kept the place spotless. One lady who worked in my room daily, I called Patty Sunshine not Merry Sunshine, because she brightened the room with her happy disposition. The Therapy room was spacious with a nice view of the court yard. My therapists, Teresa, Gayle and Ginny were outstanding! Thank you all so very much. I’ll be back to see you when I get better.
Sincerely, FR

Cal:
Hope everything is going well with you. It has been about 4 weeks since I have been home and meant to write this sooner. I want to “thank” you, your wife and Richard for my stay at The Guilford House for 25 days. It was very pleasant and helpful to be there for the rehabilitation time needed with all the disciplines such as nursing staff, dietary, Physical Therapy, discharge, etc. Especially to you Cal as CEO, and your assistant Richard. You both have been cordial and seem happy in your positions and even going on beyond and seeing all that’s going on in your facility, your reputation of the Guilford House is out there with the public and word of mouth and my cousin ES and others who have had their loved ones experiencing the care received. The frequent visits, talks, newspapers every day and all you do for keeping the ship going. Can’t thank all of you enough.
Sincerely, JV

Dear Cal and Staff:
I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for all the wonderful care I received at Guilford House. There was not any aspect of my care in your facility that was less than excellent. The food, the therapy, the assistance given by the nurses and aids, and even the morning paper. Thank you, thank you. No one likes being away from home when they are not feeling up to par, but your hotel-like atmosphere made me feel like I was on vacation while recovering. I want to commend the outstanding therapy department and therapists who helped me get on my feet again (no pun intended). The dedication and commitment demonstrated really helps make a person feel as if they are special and that they can do it. Thanks again so much for the personal service you provided and the pleasant recovery experience. I am recommending Guilford House to all my friends and feel as if I could be the president of your fan club.
Sincerely, CAS

To the Entire Staff at The Guilford House:
My husband and I would like to thank you for the wonderful care I received at The Guilford House after my bilateral total knee replacements. The quality of care I received was outstanding and the rehab experience was wonderful. As a retired nurse, I know how “nursing homes” can be and your attention to excellent patient care was above and beyond the norm. From daily visits from Cal and Richard, to our cozy dinner table for 2 in my room to my after-dinner ice cream re-quests – I appreciated every one of the little “Specialties).
I have told my doctors and my friends of your wonderful facility. I am happy to report that I am walking very well with a cane and have started out patient PT and progressing ahead of schedule. Again, a sincere thank you of all your care.

Dear Cal (and all staff!)
We can’t thank you all enough for the wonderful, warm care that you have given my Mom over the last couple of months! It really has been a home away from home with excellent food and outstanding care-giving – from the RN’s, aides, physical therapists, housekeeping, kitchen help and all the professional staff. We’ll miss all of your smiling faces and Mom hopes to come walking back in for one of your summer cook outs. Thanks again for providing top notch care in such a lovely well run facility!
Sincerely, S & SC, N & RB, D & SR, JR & of course E
