Excellent Rehabilitation Isn’t Just for the Young Only at Heart…


 


 
Valerie Wilson came to Willow Manor TruRehab after having her leg amputated below the knee.  Being young in age, Valerie was scared to come to a “skilled nursing facility” because she was unsure of what to expect.  What she found during her stay here was a lot more than she would have ever imagined.  Arriving late on a Saturday evening, Valerie’s admission was warm, comforting, and she knew then that she had made the right decision by choosing Willow Manor. 
 
“The therapy here was really good.  The therapist knew what to do; you could tell they’ve had experience in amputations. The staff is all great people and fun to get to know.  They listened to what I wanted and what I needed out of my stay.  They treated me with respect and I always felt like I could talk to them.  The room was really nice and very comfortable. If I ever need therapy again, I will certainly call on Willow!”

Taking Care of Those Who Have Taken Care of Others



 
Myrna Brown is a well known woman in our community.  From the work she has selflessly done to help protect women and children who have found themselves abused, Myrna Brown is a name that many hear and instantly smile.  Myrna was no longer smiling when she found herself in the hospital sick, weak, and unable to manage herself alone.  She needed to go to a skilled nursing facility for therapy before she could make it back home.  Myrna chose to come to Willow Manor’s TruRehab unit.  During her stay she worked diligently with the therapy staff, working on strengthening, balance, and dexterity.  In just a few short weeks, Myrna felt strong enough to return home.
 
When asked about her stay here at Willow Manor, Myrna was elated to give her thoughts.  “I would come back here for my care anytime!  I was astonished with how well the TruRehab unit ran.  The care that I got was exceptional.  The therapy gym was very spacious and very well equipped.  The therapy and the nursing staff were very educated in their jobs and the care they had for us patients was phenomenal.  I would recommend Willow to anyone!”
