Staff is attentive and very pleasant PT and OT were very good and made sure they gave my husband the attention needed to regain his strength Cons Parking is horrible. I spoke to the Administrator about when I saw at least six staff members parking in front rather than around the back so there was no room for visitors, He was almost rude and pretty much stated it wasn't his problem. Food was less than stellar. They were supposed to take orders so you didn't have to eat the meal of the day, sometimes that happened and sometimes not. Way over salted but when my husband mentioned that he was told they didn't salt anything. Might want change who the food is sourced from. Beds were so uncomfortable according to my husband. Activities were not something most would want to participate in, It was better than some but there is still room for improvement and if the higher staff members don't see a problem then nothing changes

The only reason I am giving one star is because a zero or negative rating is not an option…read more My 94-year-old mother was admitted to Avamere Transitional Care of Puget Sound on a Saturday evening with casts on both arms extending from her fingers to above her elbows. Upon arrival, she was served a meal consisting of a hoagie roll with two very thin slices of turkey, a piece of Kraft cheese cut in half, cold fries, and fruit that was unrecognizable. This raised immediate concerns about basic care and nutrition. The goal of short term rehabilitation is to help patients regain strength, improve their health, and return home to their normal activities. Unfortunately, our experience was the opposite. My mother became weaker with each passing day. Given her condition, it should have been immediately clear that she required assistance with basic tasks. However, it took until the following day for staff to recognize that she was unable to feed herself. When assistance was requested for toileting, a CNA stated in front of me that my mother could use her diaper and would be cleaned later. This appeared to be standard practice, as she was frequently left in bed until the afternoon and not regularly assisted to the restroom. As a result, her hygiene declined significantly. A physical therapist later expressed concern about her condition, noting that at 3:30 PM she was still in bed and had not been properly cared for. Communication throughout her stay was extremely poor. There were constant staff changes, and no clear continuity of care. Nursing and physical therapy appeared to operate in separate systems with little coordination. Despite multiple requests, we were never able to speak with a physician at any point during her stay. During this time, my mother developed pneumonia. We have since moved her to another facility. Within the first 30 minutes of her arrival at Orchard Park, she received more care and attention than she did during the entire two weeks at Avamere. I fear for patients who do not have an advocate, as they may be left with little to no care. Overall, the level of care, communication, and coordination fell well below expectations.

The entire team at South Sound Physical Therapy has been great to work with. I really like the…read moregenuine kind & positive energy atmosphere (not over-the-top fakey-fake, the team has great working relationships with each other & it is passed on to patients). The ladies (especially Ebony) at the front desk are friendly, efficient, and are willing to work with a client if there's an issue, as long as it's quickly resolved (I forgot my wallet on my first visit). As I come from afar, it's appreciated when the staff is able to work with me if the traffic is horrible (beyond my control, although I give myself 1.5 hrs to commute from south of Olympia, normally 45 min. drive). A++ The therapy technologists are always ready to help, know exactly which exercises to do, how to smoothly transition from one to the next, making it an easier process, and creates a routine for patients to follow- kind of like learning a choreography. My therapist Lani has been invaluable: immediately immersing me in the scientific knowledge regarding my condition, ecstatically answering my many minute detailed questions, and giving me as much detailed information as my brain could absorb (she's passionate about sharing info). This valuably deepened my time, investment, & working with her has been a life changing experience for the better, as I'm able to understand my condition, limits, & how to overcome them in healthy & productive ways vs. continuing to damage & push thru pain. She is VERY GOOD at making hand braces & ensuring they fit right. I had a major plumbing issue a few days after receiving them, and after 3 days of shoveling, my hands & wrists were irritated, but not thoroughly trashed due to the braces' protection & the exercises I had been doing to strengthen my fingers. The next day my hands recovered after a heated tens session, exercises, and adhesion scraping Lani did after carefully evaluating the damage. Overall, I 100% recommend SSPT & IRG to anyone who may need the services they offer. It was definitely worth my time commuting the 1.5 hrs thru bad traffic to get there. THANK YOU IRG & South Sound Physical Therapy! Thank you to your entire staff!

I have been a patient there a few times and oddly enough, the therapist had no recollection of me…read more I understand that they have a lot of patients, but I had been there a number of times within a few years and they couldn't remember me. The first time I went there, Jamie was there and she was great. I didn't know that I would be going there and handed off to new people every time and they would have interns who were there temporarily and each therapist would be working with multiple patients at a time. The individual care is not great. I have a huge problem with one therapist in particular and that's the reason why I'm writing this review. I don't know how she can continue to do what she does and no one else does anything about her behavior. Toni is a very outspoken and unprofessional person who has said things in front of the whole gym that actually made me uncomfortable as a patient. What ultimately made me upset was how she treated me as an individual by telling me that I wasn't really hurting and that I needed to go to therapy because I needed to get over it. When I looked up her training and how long she has been working, I couldn't believe that she had the blind confidence to tell someone twice her age and double her education level and experience that I needed mental therapy for my physical health and pain management! She needs to learn how to manage herself and stick to what she's been trained in at Green River Community College.

I can't give them a 1 cause not EVERYTHING bad, there are a "few" good things they have going…read moregood. 1) The ladies at front desk are friendly, and very helpful and do a spot on job! And they have a heated pool fir therapy. The therapists, however seem to just put me to whatever they want to just to keep me busy, not to explain why they have me doing certain regiments of exercise and what the benefit of each will produce for my peripheral nueropathy and balance. I had a difficult time getting on a bike because of my mobility limitations and. Instead of getting assistance the therapist watched me struggle to get on the bike. Almost faltering till he finally offered a step stool and his arm to stabilize me. He walked away once I was on and said I had 10 minutes, but someone else would be assisting me once I was done, and he had a timer to be sure other therapist was aware of my time. My timer went off and I kept slowly pedaling for another 5 mins. Before another therapist came to take me to lay on a bed and instructed me to do some leg lifts with a band under my feet for 30 seconds 3 times on each leg. He began visiting with me, and I lost count. He was not really paying attention if I was positioning right and he did not bother timing the lifts either. I caught a cramp in my left leg cause I think I did too many reps while he kept talking asking me general friendly questioms that kept throwing me off count. After that was over he had me do some instructed stretches on each leg He then said another therapist would help me cause he had another client to get. I finished and waited, but needed to use the restroom, so I let a therapist working her computer know who I was and if my new therapist came for me if she could let them know where I was at. I returned and asked if anyone came for me, but she said not that she was aware of. So I proceeded to walt, and wait and wait. My time was up and I was frustrated letting the gal on the computer know I had to go, and I was very upset how much time I waited for no one to come back to complete my alloted time. I asked the kind and helpful ladies up front who I would issue a complaint with and they got one of the initial therapists who helped me to hear why I was upset. He apologized and understood why I was upset and he forgot to come back to me cause of working with another client. The manager there said she could refund my copay or in a few weeks have a check mailed to me cause they could not credit my copay since I laid using a debit card?? On 2 other times they have canceled appointments that I scheduled a month in advance for lack of enough therapists. Love the pool staff, but also have noticed therapists while nice and kind also visit more than instruct or explain benefits of each exercise regiment. My nuerologist wanted me to use his referral preference, but I opted to use them because of the pool therapy and poiximity to my home, but now reconsiderring the recommendation to get hopeful quality care worth my expense and time. herknow that I

He finds out about the type of work you do, activities you've been involved in, if you've have past problems similar. He's good at helping get a plan of action tailored to your specific needs to help either keep from making the problem worse or help make it better including gentle stretch moves using bands or your own body weight. He helps you localize the stretch and In some cases its about finding ways to give you relief throughout the day so you can carry on doing your regular duties. Overall he plants the seed of information in your head so when the therapy appointments end, you can continue on with the plan of action and help build on to what he's shown you in the clinical setting. He wants everyone to have a quality life by minimizing pain and taking care of the hips, and back which are key for any kind of activity. Noone enjoys going through xrays, MRI"s pain injections, more Dr visits because it costs a tiny fortune and it's stressful. I would suggest Matt if you must see a PT at St. Francis
