Resident at Holliswood CenterA 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.

Former Patient at Holliswood CenterI 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!

Resident at Holliswood CenterI 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!

Resident at Holliswood CenterWhen 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.

Resident at Holliswood CenterObesity 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!
