“My greatest appreciation goes to the staff at The Enclave and the care given to my aunt, Aileen Kilburn. While it’s true that I can be unrelenting, the staff always followed through. Shabella now knows my name when I call. Diahan has been so generous with her time; literally like planning a wedding in getting my family a virtual visit. Annette, the social worker, has been most responsive and caring with good follow through. I’ve even spoken with the Director, Annette, for updates. Mary, also called me a couple of times with updates.
Ameet, my aunt’s nurse, let me use her personal cell to let me speak to my aunt. She always followed up, as I got a call as soon as rounds was done.
Please share with the staff how incredibly grateful and thankful we are for the professional generosity and care given to Aileen.
Many thanks to the support staff (aides, dietary, housekeeping), that make everyone’s job a little easier and lighter.”
Humbly thankful,
Vinnette Perry, RN
“I had to send you this note to commend your amazing recreation staff, and to extend my gratitude to Ms. Diahan M., Director of the Recreation Department. Through these challenging times of Covid-19, Diahan and her staff have all gone above and beyond to maintain me and all other families connected with our loved ones through Facetime and to offer words of comfort and support to myself and my mother.
When I first came to The Enclave with my mother, I never knew what the outcome of care would be, as so often is the case when a family is put into the position of choosing a nursing home for a loved one. On that fateful day two years ago when I spoke with Ms. Cassie R. in Admissions, who worked closely with me to make an intricate process seamless, I never imagined that my decision would be proven to be the best one for my mother and me by the highly professional and compassionate care team of CNAs LPNs, RNs, Social Work Department and all others involved with her care.
Then there is Mr. Robert L., Assistant Director of Nursing. There is a special place in heaven reserved just for him. He never fails to take the time to answer my calls and address my concerns when I know all the responsibilities his job entails and how busy his day is.
Amazing things are truly happening at The Enclave – because of the exceptional people who work there.” – Nelly R.
“I am so happy with this place!” – Patricia L.

“I feel privileged to work in a capacity where I can improve the lives of others. Giving back is what drives me and inspires me to continue every single day.

Jacob and his managerial staff are the best. Everyone here was so friendly and helpful, always.” – Frank Fucile
“What you guys have done here is a miracle.”
“My husband Rafael came to The Enclave for rehab following his month long hospitalization for a stroke that impaired the left side of his body. He was admitted alert but unable to communicate and unable to walk or perform daily activities. An intense regimen of therapy from the interdisciplinary team over the course of 7 weeks, enabled Rafael to go home walking, unaided, and perform all activities of daily living with supervision. Not only were the Rehab and nursing teams caring and devoted, but staff members from all departments, including the kitchen, would offer help and encouragement throughout our time here. The warm atmosphere and supportive staff made us feel so cared for. What a great team.” – Family of Rafael O.
“I came to The Enclave following my hospitalization for a heart infection which weakened me to the point where I was bedridden and no longer able to function independently. For my first couple of weeks I had a pic-line with IV antibiotics for the infection, and needed assistance for basic activities of daily living (ADL’s), including getting dressed. The Rehabilitation team was phenomenal in encouraging me to work on gaining the strength to be able to walk and care for myself. Within a week of my admission my therapists had me out of my wheelchair and walking with a rolling-walker. Along with my increasing strength I became more independent and began dressing myself once again, no longer needing any assistance. I progressed to a cane and within a month was discharged back home with the ability to function entirely independently and walk without any assistance. The Rehab team is amazing and I am so appreciative with how quickly they got me back home. The nursing team was also extremely supportive of me, both physically and emotionally, which greatly enhanced my recovery at The Enclave.” – Sally R.
“I have been involved with the recreation department in nursing facilities for many years and feel fortunate to work in such an environment. I enjoy spreading joy and creating meaningful interactions and relationships with our residents.” – Curvie M.
“I have been working at The Enclave as a Physical Therapist for over a year and since the day I joined the staff has been embracing and welcoming. With our interdisciplinary approach, all team members communicate effectively, sharing all relevant information so that we are all on the same page. Being able to guide residents to function independently again is extremely rewarding, which inspires me to come to work everyday.” – Parmveer K.
“I came to The Enclave from the hospital two days after having knee replacement surgery on my left knee. I could not immediately walk, but the Rehab team guided me, at first with a walker, then with a cane, and by the beginning of my third week here I could walk without any assistance. I still use a cane to prevent me from walking too quickly but I feel confident to walk unassisted and will walk out of here upright at the end of the week. The unbelievable members of the Rehab team are respectful, listen to you, care for your every concern and absolutely love what they do. I have fallen in love with this community and staff and am grateful for all they have done for me.” – M. Foust
“I recently had a hip replacement and needed a bit more Rehab before going home. I came to The Enclave and have to say that the Rehab team has met my expectations.

“I came to The Enclave to rehabilitate my balance and ambulation following a head injury. From the moment I walked in, the staff was on the lookout for my best and went beyond the call of duty to ensure my happiness. Each department excels at what they do- and communicates very well amongst one another so that they all have a complete picture of the resident’s needs. Safety, not to fall or lose my balance, was a concern of mine and after just one week I developed the confidence to maintain my balance and to walk up stairs.” – J. Kolaj
“I began volunteering here a number of years ago when my parents were here. While I would come to offer entertainment and inspiration, I felt that I was receiving so much more in return. I was treated as a member of the family, and I realized this was the place for me. I am so grateful to be a part of such a special community- being able to offer happiness to others- as well as receive.”
