Key Review Excerpts
“The Sherrill House had my mother walking, feeding herself and using the bathroom alone again! It was amazing. The staff is friendly and hard working.”
“My Mom was a patient at Sherrill House August '24. This was her 3rd rehab facility due the start of her medical issues starting in April. As they say '#3 is a Charm'. Her care there was great.”
