An Exceptional Rehabilitation Experience at Encompass Rehabilitation Hospital in Prosper, TX…read more
After having my second hip replacement within two months, I knew I needed more than I had received after my first hip replacement. After my first surgery, I was sent home and was basically alone much of the day. I was afraid to move, and although I had home health, I didn't feel like I was getting the support I truly needed.
This time, I insisted on going to inpatient rehabilitation, and I chose Encompass Rehabilitation Hospital in Prosper because of its proximity to my home. I initially assumed I would be there primarily for physical therapy for my hip. Boy, was I mistaken--and I am SO grateful I was!
After my initial assessment, the team took the time to look at my entire medical history and understand what I was dealing with--not just my hip replacement. Because I have a history of strokes that has affected my memory and cognition, chronic pain, and several other medical challenges, they developed a comprehensive plan specifically for ME.
My days included one hour each of Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech Therapy, Group Therapy, and Mental Health Counseling. I was absolutely blown away!
They didn't simply see a patient who needed to learn how to walk again. They saw a whole person who needed to regain strength, confidence, independence, cognitive skills, and emotional well-being.
And the timing of my rehabilitation made their compassion mean even more to me. My mom passed away just two weeks before I arrived at Encompass, in another state. My dad has postponed my mom's memorial services because he wants me to be well enough to travel home and be there with my family. I was dealing with grief, recovery, pain, and so many emotions all at once. The care and encouragement I received during this difficult season meant more than I can adequately put into words.
Every therapist I worked with was amazing. There are so many people I could name, but a few who left a special impression on me were Jill (aka "The Dancing Therapy Girl" ), Sahi, Jamie, Jeffery, Ravina, and so many others. Each one brought something different, but they all shared the same genuine compassion and commitment to helping me get better.
The nurses and techs were equally incredible. Elizabeth, Jeremy, Neil, Krista, Tonesha, Alizabeth, and the many others who cared for me made me feel seen, supported, and safe.
Honestly, I cannot think of one staff member who provided anything less than exceptional care. You can tell that the people who work at Encompass genuinely love what they do--and, more importantly, they genuinely care about the people entrusted to them.
I came to Encompass thinking I was going there to rehab my hip.
I left feeling like they helped me rebuild much more than that.
They helped me regain confidence in my body, reminded me that I was capable of more than I thought, and gave me hope during a very difficult chapter of my life.
