The Gardens Health and Rehab Center

I awoke on the day after having shoulder replacement surgery and couldn’t get myself out of bed or stand/ambulate. I was transferred to the Gardens Healthcare and rehab for rehab so I could return home independently . Staff here has been beyond excellent always pleasant and active and always doing the services they’re supposed to do above and beyond. The nursing staff, including Olga and Kendra medication nurses, and Dorothy, Stanislav, Shay, Judy and Camecia the CNA ’s were excellent and caring at all times day or night. I would like to express my appreciation for the following therapy staff members Cherish, Brooke, Sam C ,Sam S, Semuel, Carlos, Ryan, Rebecca, Robert,Jami, Sarah, Holly, Denise, Jody, Ali, Dr. Mike, Olivia and Barbie. They are the Occupational Therapist and Physical Therapist that made my difficult situation at my 72 years of age hopeful and positive. They encouraged and supported my every move even to stop and visit from time to time. The treatment is awesome and they are transparent with your progress. Many days I would feel like not going however with their positive encouragement I would go and was so grateful I did. These therapist become extended family. I would recommend this facility above others. Henry Howell RN BSC Retired

Please see my yelp review I was forced to write this one se a week later I could get my pain medication. DON'T SEND LOVED ONES HERE. DON'T GO HERE!!! I CAN'T EVEN GET A REFIL WITH ALL THESE BRUISES! POOR MEDICAL CARE NO DOCTOR STAFF IS INADEQUATE. BEWARE y recovery was very satisfying. I am a "FALL RISK" meaning I will just fall. I had no balance and I could not go to the store or even outside without my walker. I've fallen so many times I had it tattooed on my knuckles. The Dream Team (1984 Olympic basketball team) as I loving named them, worked me like an old farm mule. They had no hope of getting me on the mend. So once I had a clearer head, I got out of bed, shuffled myself to the PT room. I did as much as I could. Heck I was wearing house shoes. My husband hadn't brought over my essentials yet. Next morning ate my breakfast put on my yoga pants socks trainers and a sweatshirt. PT didn't start for a few hours so lucky me I had a nap. Day 2 I was sore. I knew I had to do this to get off the walker. Worked a little harder. Day 3 yikes! Musels I didn't know that I had hurt. I kept at it. A little bit more every day. I even did laps around the facilities hallways after eating. I had been unable to walk for 18 months due to an inoperable injury. Doctors said "You're a high roller now. You'll be in a wheelchair forever or stuck with a walker if you're lucky a cane". I didn't receive negative feedback from the staff. Nothing but Positive Mental Attitudes. I was there for nearly a month. I'm continuing my exercises. I can put on my socks, shoes and tie the stings with little or no help. I am able to get up from a seated position, slowly, without falling down. Sometimes when I feel powerful I step away from the walker and walk. All by myself. I am very grateful for the staff and the physical therapy staff. I can't wait to show my gratitude to The Gardens by walking through the door without equipment. You all are unicorns in uniforms. Thank you. Julia E Graham room 106!
