“The staff here are amazing. I’m so glad I chose The Chateau for rehabilitation.” -A. Dickerson


“My experience at The Chateau made all the difference. It is very hard to have to put a family member in a facility and not have them home with you. With that being said, I never once had to worry about my family member concerning her care, happiness, or well-being. She was treated well, taken care of, and the staff on the 4th floor had the utmost patience, understanding, and love for her. Everything was done to make sure she was happy and had everything she needed. She spent the last 21 months at the facility following a stroke. The therapists worked hard each day on her recovery, the nurses and aides took care of her needs and made sure that she knew she wasn’t alone for a minute. The staff that took care of her needs went beyond expectations!! I also must mention the warm and welcoming greeting that I received daily from Denise at the front desk, all the care and time Susan took to do beading and coloring with her, and the constant communication from Isaac, Mr. Katz, and the 4th-floor nursing supervisor. I was able to speak to Rose, who was 92, every single day thanks to her dedicated aides who dialed the phone for her each night, or even during the day if Rose wanted to call me. I highly recommend this facility for all that want peace of mind when they have to need to be in a place for recovery or to live.” – Donna G.


“There are no words to express how grateful I am to find this place. I had just lost my mother, and I need a place for another family member for short term rehab care. I truly felt this place was a second home to our family. All the staff members were so caring and called us daily to give us updates and to check how we were feeling. Thank you to every single person in that community. I don’t know where we would be if we didn’t have you.” – Sima K.

“After my wife was a resident at three other rehab centers I wasn’t very excited when the hospital informed us that they wanted her to go for another stint at rehab. However, since my arrival at The Chateau, our whole attitude has changed. The staff are all nice and treat us well. My wife actually enjoys the food and has even put on a few pounds.

“I am so happy that I made the decision to come to The Chateau after my knee replacement. The surgeon was trying to get me to go straight home after the operation, but I insisted on getting rehab in a rehab center. All of the staff have been so nice to me and the rehab team got me up and walking without even a cane. I cannot believe how far I’ve come and its wouldn’t have been possible without everyone here.”


“The Chateau is a wonderful place, I came here after a knee replacement and can’t believe how well I have been doing here.

Ms. Agnes, the CNA, has been exceptional; she always had a smile on her face, which would brighten up my day.

All of my expectations of a rehab center have been exceed here.” – Louis L.


“Having held a 30 year career in the field of nursing, rehab and assisted living, I found myself in March of 2017 on the other side of the admissions desk. I can’t thank you and your staff enough for helping my mother’s transition and transfer process seamless and incredibly comforting. My sisters and I were facing the daunting task of moving our 102 year old mother back to Brooklyn, the place where she had lived her earlier 100 years and wanted desperately to return. I found The Chateau at Brooklyn on line and proceeded to do my homework. I was so pleased to learn about the facility, its many services, amenities and sterling reputation. The staff, especially the nurses, rehab person, social workers and certified nursing assistants have been so attentive to our needs and my mother is receiving wonderful care and thriving at the young age of 102!

Living in another state, some 250 miles away, any concerns and questions I may have about Mom’s progress and her health status are always met by return phone calls and reassurance from your professional nursing staff. On behalf of our family, I would like to acknowledge what an awesome community The Chateau at Brooklyn is and I wish you continued success in the future and we thank you all again for the good works that you provide for so many.” – Lucille S.


“The Chateau at Brooklyn is a very nice place; the building is very clean and well organized. The staff are all very compassionate and always have a smile on their face. I would like to make a special mention of a few particular staff members that went above and beyond to make sure I was doing well throughout my stay. Erica is a very well spoken nurse who knows how to communicate well with her patients, she understands the difference of speaking TO someone and not AT them, always making sure to explain everything that she was doing, which I appreciated very much. My CNA Ms. Caswell was very patient and took special care of me, along with my PT Max who was so concerned about me being able to walk on my own again without having any pain in the process.” – Yolanda H.


“The food at The Chateau at Brooklyn is delicious, I like that if there is something on the menu that I’m not in the mood of at the given time, I can order something from the kitchens alternate menu and they’ll give me something that I’m more in the mood of.
