The preeminent acute care & rehabilitation hospital in CT. For Spinal Cord Injury therapy, Gaylord is one of only 19 select facilities in the country to have the Ekso bionic walking exoskeleton! Gaylord is a premier long-term acute and chronic care hospital with the specialty to provide Medically Complex 24 hour care required post-surgery. Rehabilitation from stroke, Traumatic Brain Injury, neurological disorders, musculoskeletal problems requiring advanced orthopedics, and SCI is provided both in- and out-patient from award winning doctors, nurses, and therapists. I should know. I broke my back at T4 and arrived at Gaylord a paraplegic on a ventilator and a feeding tube. In only two short months, the amazingly kind and enthusiastic staff had me off the ventilator, eating, and most importantly, adapting to facing the activities of daily living in a wheelchair. Thank you to everyone at Gaylord.

I am sorry that I had to give any stars in order to post. My neighbor was taken there . Upon arrival, this person expired. What followed that evening was unacceptable.. Its terrible enough that the family just lost their family member but the staff has to hit them with " its up to you to make a call and remove the body"... How cold in attitude and compassion can this place be? All Gaylord had to do was dial 911, let Hunters take the body to Mid-State and let the hospital call time of death... The body would have been held there, until the family could make arrangements ,as to where to take it.. I cannot believe this place was so cold and heartless to this family.... I will make sure others know of this treatment the family was given.

I recently was a patient at Gaylord. The care I received was superb. The staff at this facility is comprised of top notch professionals who are dedicated to the care of patients. The rehabilitation program I endured was extremely challenging but I am fit today because of it. I especially liked the way I was apprised of how my rehabilitation program would benefit me. Each objective in my program was explained thoroughly to me along with the benefits of meeting each objective in my program. In sum, this was a life saving experience for me.

Your hospital is unique. Not only is the campus a delightfully landscaped park, you fill the place with extraordinary people. I have never seen a place like this before. Whatever criteria you use to select people for employment – don’t change it. You somehow manage to hire people that have true compassion for their fellow human beings. Other hospitals had adept skilled staff but they seemed more interested in me simply as another case. Your facility has the same high level of skill with the added benefit of really caring people.

I was a patient at Gaylord Rehabilitation Specialty Hospital and I just want to say I had the best care while I was a patient on Hooker 1 recovering from a spinal fusion on my back. Everyone who took care of me during my stay made me feel better and couldnt ask for a better hospital. You all are truly remarkable caretakers. If I ever need to have to be admitted to a rehab facility again I would go to Gaylord Rehabilitation Specialty Hospital for my care. Thank you all very much. :)

I WILL NEVER GO HERE AGAIN. I TRIED TO GET A TREATMENT FOR MY SCOLIOSIS BUT WHEN I TOOK OFF MY SHIRT THEY STARTED BEING VERY GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY AND MAKING FUN OF ME AND CALLING ME A SICKLICK. LIKE WHAT THE ACTUAL HECK? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO A STROKE SURVIVOR? I WAS IN VIETNAM FOR 53 YEARS. LIKE GOODNESS GRACIOUS PEOPLE, SHOW YOUR VETERAN SOME RESPECT!!!!!!!!!!!!

This by far the greatest hospital in the world! I shattered my femur, had a punctured lung, broke my left elbow, and received traumatic brain injury back in 1993. They spent almost 1 full year rehabilitating me both mentally and physically and Ive earned college degrees since and am fully functioning. Gaylord Hospital and their staff RULE!!!!!

They contacted my wife after falling asleep while driving. I had a rod placed in my right femur. The therapist, nurses and doctors at Gaylord helped and pushed me to walk again. I spent 7 weeks with them and i walk with no lim or cane. I recommend them all the time. I will forever be gratefull to entire staff and facility!

I arrived after a spinal cord injury revision, with complicated by bilateral knee replacements. In three weeks I was stronger and went home able to continue with my recovery. This being my 11th surgery in just over 5 years, this has been my best surgical outcome. Thanks all!

I went to sati lite facility in New Haven with injuries including Traumatic Brain Injury and other serious injuries. They helped me both physically and cognative. I was outpatient for a year and was pushed to work hard in a caring way. Thank you Gaylord.

My grandma stayed here in the stroke unit. It was hard to get in contact with the people who were in charge of her care. We left voicemails because you can just go to the persons office. And it would be days and days with no response.

Probably a great place if you have insurance or private pay.If you dont they want to ship you out ASAP. Physical therapist stop working with you and the only job of the social worker is to GET YOU OUT.
