My mother went into the hospital in May 2012 for hip surgery. They discovered an infection which meant the surgery had to be put off for 6 weeks while she recovered from the infection. She was sent to Green Hills Health and Rehabilitation Center where she received EXCELLENT care from the day and night staffs who were very cheerful and willing to respond to questions day or night.
Medication was given on schedule. Meals were brought on time. On days when she was unable to eat, they provided Ensure and Mighty Shakes. She even had snacks in the middle of the night.
She was given limited physical therapy while recovering from her infection and more intensive physical and occupational therapy when she returned in July after her hip revision surgery.
Another thing they do is take your religious affiliation into account. As Catholics, we were used to going to Mass but of course, couldn't while she was there. A member of the Day Staff showed me where the Chapel was and made sure a Eucharistic minister was notified to come to my mother's room so that we could receive Holy Communion.
They also have activities during the week and Pet Therapy on Saturdays where a member of the Day Staff brings her dog to the residents rooms. It really is a morale booster for everyone esp if they have pets they have to be away from. On Sundays, families can bring their own pets to visit. This is wonderful therapy and I wish more places had this.
When we left the facility in September for the last time, we had tears in our eyes. Everyone there had become our second family.
I highly recommend Green Hills Health and Rehabilitation Canter for anyone who needs physical therapy or a nursing home. It really is a home away from home where everyone goes out of their way to make your or your loved one's stay a pleasant one.
