Upon entering RRH, I found it quite disturbing that several patients were sitting in wheelchairs the corridor exhibiting various states of consciousness. One had a developmental disability, while others appeared have cognitive disabilities. One of men persistently called out to me several times, while the nurses advised me to ignore him.
Today, I watched yet another patient walk out the door and back into their life after coming to us with no function in their upper and lower extremities. Through the dedicated and skilled hands of therapists, rehab nurses and techs, the miracle happened.
My father was a patient at Regional Rehab Hospital in Phenix City, AL recently with a brain injury due to multiple falls. While there he and his visiting family members could not have received any better care. Nursing and therapy staff members were very caring, attentive and knowledgeable. There is no better place to go if you are in need of therapy.
The rooms were austere.
Nurses were caring and very informative.
IF you or a loved one with a brain-injury must stay at RRH, please be vigilant about your loved one's care. There were times when medications were delivered late or missed entirely.
My dad got stronger after a two-week stay at Regional Rehabilitational Hospital. I was surprised to see him standing and walking after months of bed rest and a diagnosis of colon cancer. My dad is not the easiest person to deal with but nursing staff were cordial and supportive. He's been at home now for 9 months and he still talks about how much he loves the therapists he had at Regional. This is a top-notch facility and I would highly recommend it.
Overall, treatment of my Mom for knee replacement surgery was adequate. There were several nurses and nurse techs that were outstanding, while others seemed distracted and disengaged. One pair of them left my 80 year old Mom, with limited mobility, in the bathroom alone, where she tumbled to the floor. The supervisor on duty that night called to inform me of the fall and accommodated me well when I returned to check on my Mom. The nurse and the tech apologized for the calamity, however, upon investigation, it was determined that my Mom had been left unattended and without a wheelchair available. Although I find this unacceptable, the RRH CEO defended the negligent staff members.
The physical therapists, occupational therapist and speech therapist were all exceptional!!
In general, the facility's standard of care seems very inconsistent as some staff is amazing, while others simply don't care.
How many people get to go to work and see that? I do. We don't spend thousands of dollars to advertise to our community that we have been ranked in the top 10% of all inpatient physical rehabilitation hospitals is the US for the last several years - but it's true. The people I work with are the very best in the field at what they do, the very best!
The kitchen staff was very accommodating and courteous. The meals were generally palatable and balanced.
I am overwhelmed with gratitude today for the opportunity to work at a place where I get to witness modern miracles!
Our patients know, and those of us here every day who get to see the miracles happen - we know that Regional Rehab Hospital is a special place. How lucky I am to work in a place like this, with people who change lives. Yes, I am very grateful.
