  • " My father who was experiencing severe agitation and behavioral episodes brought on quickly by Parkinson's, dementia, and other health issues was referred to St. Veronica's Behavioral Health in July. My family and I are extremely satisfied with the care he received and the benefits he is experiencing since being dismissed from St. Veronica's. His medicine was adjusted to his needs and he has had a total turn around since being admitted and treated there. His quality of life is much better as well as decreased agitation and even his confusion is much less severe. The facility is top notch. We were very pleased when we visited to find the big open space that was clean and very brightly lit with natural light. The staff we encountered while there were very knowledgeable, courteous, and always willing to answer any questions we had, as well as ask questions to help in getting to know my father better. You can tell a lot of time and effort has gone into making this facility safe and as comfortable as possible for the patients in their care. During this hard transition in life, St. Veronica's was such a comfort and answer to our prayers. We have nothing but good things to share. Should we ever need this type of assistance again, we will definitely contact St. Veronica's first."

We appreciate you more than you will ever know, and will continue to pray for each and every patient that enters your door. Thank you again from all of us!"
