Sample family reviews
From patients and families
New knee on a Tuesday, here by Thursday, home in seventeen days. The therapists pushed me exactly as hard as I needed.
After Mom's stroke, the speech therapist got her swallowing safely again. She had her first cup of coffee in a month and cried.
Dad has lived on the east hall for five years. Same nurse, same aides, same seat at dominoes.
Amanda helped us apply for SoonerCare when Mom's savings ran out. I didn't know where to start.
They practiced getting me in and out of their car until I could do it without thinking. Then I went home and did it in mine.
I toured three places before my surgery. This was the only one where the therapy director came out to meet me.
The night nurse calls me when Mom has a bad night, before I hear it from anyone else.
My husband's last months were in their care with hospice. He never had to move rooms, and nobody ever rushed us.
Sunday dinner with Grandpa is a family tradition now. The pot roast is better than mine.
Having surgery this year? Tour the gym first.
We'll show you the therapy gym, introduce the team and reserve a short-stay room for your discharge date.
