Testimonials
When I left Van Dyk, a bit earlier, I believe than my experienced physical therapists might have recommended, I felt well-prepared to continue my exercises. I left to be home for Christmas. I had mixed feelings – wistfulness and deep gratitude- among them. Van Dyk had been a true sanctuary and haven for me: a gentle community of people devoted to helping and healing others. I feel blessed to be there. I thank you and your family for creating and maintaining the nurturing, warmly hospitable atmosphere of the Van Dyk and the high quality and professionalism if your staff.
