I'm in rehab at Buffalo Crossings. It's a ten all around. My husband and I both came over here after a hospital stay. The staff has been very helpful. The nurses and the CNAs are wonderful. The physical and occupational therapy has been fantastic. The food is very good. I'm having a chef's salad today that's really good. My husband is enjoying his food, too. He said it's so much better than hospital food. We're in different rooms, but they're doing so well with the COVID. All the staff members wear N95 masks.

I'm in rehab at Buffalo Crossings. It's a ten all around. My husband and I both came over here after a hospital stay. The staff has been very helpful. The nurses and the CNAs are wonderful. The physical and occupational therapy has been fantastic. The food is very good. I'm having a chef's salad today that's really good. My husband is enjoying his food, too. He said it's so much better than hospital food. We're in different rooms, but they're doing so well with the COVID. All the staff members wear N95 masks. You have to stay in your room, but I couldn't really move around too much anyway. They are keeping everybody 14 days isolated, but your family can make an appointment and they will wheel you outside. You're behind partition and they can come up and see you. They can't come into the facility to see you. They're doing everything right as far as I'm concerned with COVID, and the staff is very knowledgeable, especially for me. They have to get me up and out of bed, and the physical therapist and occupational therapist push you, but I want to get myself going and be able to go home, so that's good. The rooms are beautiful. They look like a hotel room. I can see right out my door if I was able to go out. They bring all your meals to your room because of the COVID restrictions, but normally they have dining areas out there where you can sit. It looks like a hotel lobby out there. There's a fireplace and a TV over it. As much as I can see, it looks beautiful and upscale, like a Hyatt lobby. They have an activity director, and because of COVID a lot of things are different, but I happen to have my iPad with me, so I'm either reading, or they have the big screen TVs, or doing research, so I didn't ask for anything recreation-wise. Today, the staff came and brought a welcome balloon, and they already have my plan of care case management set up for next week. Normally, they have a happy hour, but because we're in our rooms they come around. They even have beer or wine and snacks and sodas, and they just bring it to your room individually because of COVID. I know my husband is getting a newspaper every day, which he loves. They're doing what they can during COVID. I'm sure there are other things if I was interested, but I told the young lady that pretty much between the therapies and the things I have to do I don't really need anything else.
