Chateau At Moorings Park

Nice, big, expensive, great service

I was a patient at the Chateau in Moorings Park on two separate occasions. In November, 2014 and most recently from June 2, to July 22 2018. Here is my review of their facility. Concentrating on the recent visit. First, the purpose of a rehabilitation facility is help patients regain some semblance of mobility that they had prior to suffering a traumatic injury. In my case it was a broken leg, Tib-Fib in medical lingo. It was a painful and long process to become somewhat recovered. I had two sessions a day, Physical Therapy (PT) and Occupational Therapy (OT). Although, I worked with several therapists of each, I will comment on those I worked with most often. The PT I worked with mostly was Ruthie. She was unbelievable. There is an old joke, “Q. What is the difference between a terrorist and physical therapist? A. You can negotiate with a terrorist”. Ruthie was tough on me, but at no time did I feel that I was overtaxed. She was unstinting kind. As I progressed, the sessions became more and more endurable. The exercises were varied enough that I did not become bored. The OT sessions were similarly structured. The rehab center has all the equipment that one could ask for and the experienced, knowledgeable staff knows how to get most out of each. The medical staff was terrific. Incredibly professional. The nurse caring and readily available. Likewise the nurses aides. Even the clean up people were great. Now, about the facility itself: Overall, this is wonderful place. The park like setting has tables and walkways to allow for patients another way to get better. All of the staff at the Chateau was completely professional The shared rooms were large and airy, and structured so that there is feeling of privacy. Separate dining tables with two chairs in each room allow for visitors to comfortably visit. There are many areas outside the rooms to allow larger visitors to chat and relax. If you are there for a long time, you can take advantage of their laundry service for a small fee. A barber/beauty salon is on the premises. The dayroom has games magazines etc. are a good place to hang out and meet other patients. Although this not a restaurant review, the dining room at the Chateau is fabulous. The menus change daily and all are great. In addition, there are ala carte items always available. The Caesar salad is a standout. You can also have a filet if you want. With doctor’s permission even wine is also permitted. You can have meals delivered to your room or go to the dining room , which I usually did . It was great to meet other patients and compare notes. This is not so much a hospital dining hall as a fine restaurant . Spending time in rehabilitation is never fun. If you have the option and the Chateau has a room available you should consider staying at the Chateau of Moorings Park.

My mother has been in rehab for knee surgery there for a couple of weeks now. Absolutely amazing! 1) Staff is extremely friendly and anticipates her needs. 2) The surroundings are gorgeous - paintings, statues, yet very warm and comfortable. 3) The food is terrific. Can't say enough about the food. 4) It's the closest thing to staying in a hotel for your rehab. 5) They push you "just enough" where you feel steady progress each day. She can do more and more each day and by the time she gets out, she should be walking without any support - or at the very least, a cane for a short time. Already the pain is 1/2 what it was before the surgery. Thanks Chateau! -Ken
