A kidney disease kept me from home. I was in need of regular dialysis treatments and other medical interventions. The pain was so severe, I couldn’t do anything by myself. The worst part was that I wasn’t just physically sick - I was very home-sick as well. Once I came to Holliswood Center for rehab, I knew that I was on the road back home. The rehab staff were so very welcoming and they made me feel supported. I really liked working with Paul – he was so patient and made me as comfortable as possible. Every day I felt stronger and every day I was closer to returning home. My treatment was very long; more than 200 days! But every day at Holliswood Center was pleasant and enjoyable. Although I had much more work to do, I was finally able to go back home! I would definitely recommend this facility to my friends and family who are in need of rehab.

I was admitted to Queens Hospital, suffering from what my doctor called “Acute Hypoxic Respiratory Failure,” brought on by COVID-19 pneumonia. In other words, I was not getting enough oxygen and my body was shutting down. The hospital kept me alive, but I was in no shape to go home. My doctor referred me to Holliswood Center for my recovery and rehab. What a great choice! The therapy team—physical, occupational and speech—taught me to walk, talk, breathe and eat again. After six weeks, I was healthier, stronger, and able to go back to my home and family. Thank God—and the Holliswood Center team!

I was extremely weak: kidney disease, high blood pressure, and blood clots combined to wreck my health and sap my strength. But I had hope. I had been to Holliswood Center before, and I knew how good they were. The Holliswood Center team came through for me again—just as I hoped. They welcomed me back and set up my rehab program. I loved it and I love them! My legs are strong again, and I have a lot more energy. I recommend Holliswood Center to anyone who needs rehab. It’s great!

When I dislocated my hip, I couldn’t walk, definitely couldn’t climb stairs, and suffered extreme pain and discomfort. Then I came to Holliswood Center and my condition improved remarkably. The team at the facility were nice, friendly, and attentive. The therapy was great, especially Eric Ortiz. I felt the staff was helping all the residents get better. Even though I would have rather been home, my two months at Holliswood Center made me stronger. I would recommend this facility.

Obesity is a terrible condition. I weighed over 700 pounds. I was in poor health and in dire straits, physically and mentally. I tried many different weight loss programs but to no avail. I finally hit rock bottom when, due to my excess weight, I lost my balance and fractured my leg. It turns out, breaking my leg may have been the best thing that could’ve happened to me. I went to Holliswood Center to rehab, and individually and as a whole, the team there lifts my spirits. They are friendly, make me laugh and show that they care. My therapists are incredible individuals, and I don’t know where I’d be without them. I love this Holliswood Center. The staff, the rooms and the food are all good. And after three months, I’ve lost over 200 pounds. What an amazing transformation!
