“I was very impressed by the care provided by the nurses and the staff. They were very compassionate, and as someone who was there for therapy, they provided you with what you needed to make a great foundation for returning to your home. When I arrived I couldn’t walk, and now I can walk 30 yards with my rollator, and I have the team at Barnes-Jewish Extended Care to thank.”
