My father has moved into Derry Rehabilitation and Nursing Center. I only chose them because my dad fell. He was in the hospital, so he had to go for rehab. As far as rehab, it's a good facility. It's nice, and not like a normal nursing home. It's only got 62 beds, so that was one of the selling points for me, that it wasn't 300 beds like all the other places I've heard of. It's a small community, I would say. Their staff is phenomenal, I love the LNAs and the nurses, they are very helpful. I haven't tried the food, but my dad loves it. In terms of value for money, it's not bad. I think some places rank higher for cost. This is not bad, it's up to $283 a day. Some places are $300 a day. Most places are going to be comparable to that. Everything's expensive nowadays. I do like the place. They do have physical therapy and salon services. They have activities, typical, like if you would have been in long-term care. They probably do things more on the outside during the summer, probably put trips and things, but not right now while it's cold. I'm pretty happy with them so far.

I wish someone would have told me how greatly my father would have suffered here. Show up on a day announced & see the condition they’re in before staff is alerted a family member is coming. My father suffered unimaginably and I will forever feel this guilt of trusting these “medical professionals”
