Testimonials

Everyone at Special Care,

Thank you for the Eternal Remembrance for Margaret, my mother. She always told us how happy she was there. I know she took great comfort in the daily Mass and Rosary.
I can’t tell you how we will always remember the very Special Care she received there. It has been very helpful knowing she was so well taken care of! Thank you. The Villa will always hold a special spot in our hearts.
Best to everyone. Hope to see you soon.

Dear Laura,

A jewel in Sun Valley – that’s what we saw at Villa Scalabrini. From the entry lobby to the expanse of the facility to the lovely Piazza, it is such a welcoming, comfortable place. Thank you for taking the time to show us around. I have already told several people about the jewel.

Dear Father Antonio and the Villa Scalabrini family,

Thank you for your generous remembrance of my mother in the Scalabrini Missionary League Mass. And please let me express to you how much I appreciate the love and care you showered upon my mother during her eight years at the Villa Scalabrini. I can’t tell you how grateful I was every day, knowing that my mother was receiving the best care and attention possible. Each and every one of you is a truly remarkable and holy person. May God bless you!

Dear Mr. Afshar and Staff:

We wanted to let you know how much we appreciate the care and attention that was given our father Sebastiano Capello during his last few months of life. During that difficult time we had to make decisions that were always respected. Everyone there truly seems to care for the patient’s well-being.
The staff always conducted themselves professionally while displaying the human touch. We want to especially thank Maria for her calm and caring manner; Charlene and Jonimae for their cheerfulness; Philene and Katherine for their patience with us and their sense of urgency; Esther for her attention to detail and Alfredo and Tony for their caring and compassion. Thank you too Ardy for making the process of taking our father in your facility seamless and extremely easy. We have and will continue to sing the praises of the Villa Scalabrini to those we know. Thank you to the Fathers of St. Charles and the Sisters of the Augustinian Recollect for the compassionate works they do for the elderly. With our gratitude to all of you,
Earl and Alice Capello

I would like to thank the personnel at the Villa for the wonderful care and love shown my mother especially Amelia, Tony and Ana for their dedication to the people under their care. If my mother needed to be put in a home or hospital I wanted the place to be run by the Catholic which my mother was so devoted to her religion. with the guidance from Frank and Mara Chimenti (Frank’s mother Catherine was at the Villa) they help me ease my mind when my mother was to ill to ever come back to her home. God bless the personnel.

Dear Staff of Villa Scalabrini and Special Care Unit,
My dad Hernando and I would like to express our gratitude and appreciation for the wonderful care that you lovingly provided for my mother Celmira Cote. The Fathers, nuns, administration and nursing staff are greatly appreciated for the outstanding and compassionate care throughout her stay at Villa Scalabrini. Dad and I have witnessed the fantastic care towards my mom and we feel all of you have become an extended family. Especially towards my dad. There always was a smile for him or a hug, or just time to stop and ask how he is doing.
For the period of time mom was with you, I know she had a better quality of life by all the medical care, wonderful games and field trips she enjoyed so much. Especially, when you showed movies and served popcorn or ice cream. Villa Scalabrini is a true asset to assisting living and to the service they provided for elderly care. They should be a terrific example to all other institutions on how medical care and assisted living services should be rendered.
From the bottom of our hearts we thank you. May God bless all of you for your kind-hearted services.

Dear Special Care Unit Staff:
The eyes with which you choose to view the patients (MOM!) are eyes full of wisdom and kindness. Many only see what is the frail outer condition or the rambling of an outer shell not connected to the soul within. Yet the staff here sees the care of a human that has fully contributed to our world today and can promote the dignity of that life in its present condition. To support and embrace humans like you do is truly the key to the world and all of life.
With gratitude and blessings
The Family of Patricia Lousen

Dear Special Care Unit,
I want to thank you all so much for the care you provided to my mom, Ethel Gerbus, during the year and a half she was with you. Every one of the staff, from custodians and kitchen servers to the nursing staff, was wonderful. I know she was difficult some times – she really wasn’t herself – but you were all unfailingly generous with your care. Some of you spent more time with her than others, and I’m afraid if I start naming names I’ll leave someone special out. But you all work as a team, and my gratitude goes to all of you. Please use this for something that benefits all of you. Or, as the very least, parties for all shifts!
Thank you again,
Rita Cregg
