Helen Hayes Hospital

I spent 2 months at Helen Hayes following delicate spinal surgery (April & May 2017). The care I received surpassed any other medical institution I have experienced. The doctors, nurses and CNA's were top notch. I worked closely with PT & OT and was happy with their care. As a bonus the place is gorgeous. The view from my window looked over the Hudson River.

My husband and I live on Long Island. He was able to stay in the dormitory and avoid many 50 mile one way trips which allowed us to see each other more often.

I am doing well now and thank Helen Hayes for contributing to a large part of my recovery.

This place is amazing. My father has been in and out of the hospital and sub acute rehabs all summer. This is the cleanest rehabilitation facility I have been in. The staff is attentive and very nice. The energy here is very positive. They don't treat their elderly patients as if they are just old and ready to die. That has been the feeling I got from the other hospitals and rehabs.

My wife was a patient at Helen hayes...she had a seizure and had a difficult time pronouncing words..verbalizing. .and formulating sentences. ..H.H.staff worked their magic... within three weeks she was talking 100%..Helen Hayes is a WORLD CLASS immaculate rehab hospital....THE BEST ..PERIOD.

I had been looking forward to a professional rehab center after my knee replacement surgery at HSS. Hospital for Special Surgery was fantastic. Helen Hayes however kind the nursing staff and therapists are is very disorganized.

They have the equipment and the staff is trained on many devices but they were never on time and 30 minute therapy were more like 20 minutes of actual therapy work. I made good progress but that was because I pushed myself. I was having blood pressure issues after working out but only a couple of therapists cared to check to see how my pressure was doing.

I have not been to rehab before but expected this facility to be much more organized and conscientious.

Filled with wonderfully caring people with up to date facilities to help you get back on track. Great place.
