Whittier Way is outfitted like a city street that will enable patients who have experienced strokes, brain injuries, hip-replacement surgery and other disabling conditions to practice activities of daily living in a “real life” setting, while under the supervision of our staff, as a means to return to a self-fulfilling life at home. Whittier Way includes: |
- A cinema that helps patients learn how to get into seats placed very close together
- A bank with an ATM machine, to practice withdrawing money while learning motor skills
- A supermarket, which helps patients in many fashions, from learning proper breathing techniques when lifting a gallon of milk to motor controls and cognitive skills, like counting change
- An automobile to help patients practice getting in and out of the car as well as develop cognitive and motor skills

“Hello JoAnn and Dr. Sefton, Thank you both for the time spent today with you both—and your good program of “Memory & Aging”. I feel very encouraged especially since now I feel I am not “as badly off” as I thought! Keep up the good works.”
“Dear Dr. Arcidi, It is with great pleasure that I write to you about the care that my father received at your hospital. He was not there long, but the care was excellent. I especially want to thank Mrs. Joann Sharp and Dr. Jay Turchetta...It does and will continue to have Whittier Rehabilitation Hospitals be known for their extra touch of caring for people in the harder times of their lives. I am sincerely grateful to you and your sons for the vision that you have shown to design such a professional, caring facility.”
“Dear Mr. Tracy: I am writing to commend you on your wonderful facility here in Westboro and to thank your staff for the treatment given to my father. While visiting at our home, he fell and broke a pelvic bone. After spending four days at Worcester Medical Center, we were fortunate to have him transferred to Whittier. As residents of Westboro, we had heard nothing but positive comments about your hospital, so I was very happy you could accommodate him. He is doing quite well and showing steady improvement, physically and mentally. And what impresses us most is the wonderful staff. These folks have been so good with him - all of them, doctors, nurses, therapists, aides. They are extremely caring and sensitive.”
