Review of Atrium Post Acute Care of Park Ridge

5 Star User Review

It gives me great pleasure in writing this letter to your attention.

Unfortunately, the orthopedist had informed me that I needed a total knee replacement and

highly suggested a rehabilitation facility after surgery. Immediately, I began visiting many

facilities. Working for a doctor, I know what to look for and what would be best of me.

From the moment I had entered your lobby, a feeling of relief was felt inside me. I was

impressed and knew that this was the place I would choose. This decision I had made has

been one that I will never regret.

On April14, 2013 I was admitted to Plaza Regency; instantly I had felt the warmth and

concern of all employees. Though it was a Sunday, everyone there brighten the day with

their smiles and willingness to assist in any way.

While I was at Plaza I noticed the cleanness of the facility, there was never any odors as I

found at many of the other facilities I visited. My room and my bathroom was cleaned

everyday, which was an important factor to me.

In addition, the design of the Therapy Department enabled one to feel positive by the

brightness and cheery ambiance. All of the equipment was clean and ready to be used by

the next patient. I had to pleasure of meeting Mr. James Banogan, the director, who was

extremely caring and professional. After meeting him, I had met my personal therapist,

Annalisa with her warm and friendly smile. There wasn't a time that she did not encourage

me to try an exercise that I thought I couldn't do, but she assured me that I could do it and

she was right. Her constant motivation and support was a significant factor in my early

discharge from rehab.

When I left I knew that I was ready to do outpatient rehab, I had only wished that your

facility was not so far from my home because I would certainly have gone there for the

outpatient rehab. I had also received occupational therapy with Angie, the therapist; again

I couldn't be more pleased.

Let me comment on the nursing under the direction of Amanda Sprofera. There was never

a time that whatever I needed I did not receive. The nurses tried their best to help with

whatever I needed from them, be medication, change of a bandage, or just someone to ask a

question.

Unfortunately, I will have to have my second knee done on July 9th of this year and with

this one I already know that I will be returning to Plaza for my rehab.

In closing, I want to thank everyone at Plaza that made my stay so pleasurable and so

successful, since that was our main concern.

See you in October!
