    Spotless facility and caring staff

    I stayed here for rehab and was very pleased. The facility and rooms were spotless, meals were delicious, and activities were enjoyable. Staff from CNAs to nurses and management (Mike) were friendly, professional, and genuinely caring, and therapy was excellent and attentive. My family felt reassured and I would recommend this place.

    About Citadel of Sterling

    Citadel Of Sterling gives round-the-clock care because staff, including attentive CNAs and knowledgeable nurses, are always there to help residents day and night, and they seem to really watch out for everyone with a kind and respectful attitude, making sure needs are met and everyone feels at home, even as they go about their daily routines in a calm, newly remodeled place that tries to keep things feeling like home and less like a hospital, though sometimes there are small concerns, like keeping up with the dishwashing in the food service where meals are served to all the residents, and you'll see they offer both long-term nursing care with 24/7 staff and short-term rehabilitation for those who might need help after an illness or injury. They have therapy services here, so someone recovering from a stroke, heart problem, orthopedic surgery, or needing occupational, physical, or speech therapy can get hands-on help with advanced equipment, and the nurses are used to handling more complex needs, like wound care, bariatric care, and giving medicines. There's a real focus on person-centered care, and everyone talks about making sure guests and families feel comfortable and engaged, and even though there's talk about a child development program and different senior programs, the main idea is about helping each person keep as much independence as possible while their health improves, with efforts to keep everyone on a healthy path through collaboration with WellSpire, WesleyLife, and Genesis Health System, which seems to add a layer of support for both the residents and the doctors, and when it comes down to it, the building, designed to feel peaceful and welcoming, tries to boost healing and helps everyone-guests and their families-feel like they belong and can be part of an active, caring community.
