Two weeks here made all the difference. I would stayed longer, but the insurance company disagreed…read more When I arrived, it was following a spinal injury, back surgery, and treatment for blood clots in my lungs. The spinal injury left me with a weak leg and I was unable to walk. After three hours of physical therapy and occupational therapy per day for two weeks, I was able to walk with a walker and I'm now at home. (To the cat's great relief.) Following the surgery I was not allowed to bend or twist my back or to lean. The physical and occupational therapists helped me understand what I was capable of and taught me new ways to perform daily tasks using devices such as a reacher to pick things up and a tool to put socks on. Everyone was caring, helpful, and supportive.

I have been to quite a few facilities for healthcare and rehabilitation after a Cardiac & Stroke!…read more I am so thankful for the care of that. I received their every person I interacted with whether it was the nurses the A's the doctors the staff in general made my visit so pleasant. It was a clean and beautiful facility, even though it was under construction, it did not affect the ambience of the facility. I would recommend this place to anyone who needs to rehab from a surgery or from a stroke or heart attack, All I the equipment was nice and clean. They were constantly sanitizing and cleaning the equipment every time it was used. I never felt so safe and had a good workout as well. I suggest the facility. for anyone looking for a place that has great staff and attitude excellent service and help to get back to your regularly scheduled life.!

My 89 year old mother recently had a two week stay in Heartland of Uptown Westerville. She has…read moreCOPD and, after a bout of pneumonia, she needed physical therapy to regain her strength before coming home. Although there are some very kind and caring people in this facility, my family's experience is that the majority of them were not very attentive. It was not unusual for her to call for a nurse and wait almost half an hour. It didn't matter if she needed a spoon or she couldn't breathe...same result for both. It was even more common for the staff to tell us they "would be right back", and then never return. One evening Mom was having a lot of trouble breathing and rang for a nurse. Twenty-five minutes later, someone finally came in. Mom asked to speak to her nurse to get some assurance someone would check on her in the middle of the night. The lady told her she would be right back...and never returned. So Mom called me at 10:30 p.m. struggling to breathe and in a panic because she didn't want to go to sleep for fear no one would come if she called for help. I had to intervene to get assurance they would care for her. They gave the medications when it was convenient for them. One day they finally brought Mom her inhaler...6 hours late, even though she kept requesting it. It put Mom in a downward spiral of breathing problems and took her a few days to recover. After complaining, they finally allowed her to keep her inhaler. One time when the aide needed her to rinse her mouth out, she looked around the room for something for my mother to spit in, and she grabbed the little flower vase that was on her nightstand. Very unprofessional and not very hygienic. Another day, I waited an hour for the social worker to meet me for an appointment...only to find out she had forgotten about me. And when I came to pick Mom up to bring her home, her nurse wasn't made aware that she was being discharged, and another nurse failed to call in her prescriptions as he was told to do. The carpet was filthy and the experience was depressing. Unfortunately, I believe this is not unusual for many nursing homes...which is even more depressing. Respect and care for our elderly...that's not too much to ask.

This isn't my fist time visiting Smith's Mill. Around 3.5 years ago my grandmother was in the…read morememory care unit for a short stay after a fall. The facility and staff in the mc unit were great back to my grandmother even though she was nonverbal due to Alzheimer's. My interactions and time at the facility were brief but they stood out because of those positive interactions. My 2nd mom who I've been taking care for the last several years is currently a resident at Smith's Mill for rehab. Unfortunately her dementia has progressed so I wasn't sure what to expect from her once she was transferred from the hospital. She's slowly perking up except for when Ashley Everson stops by her room each morning to check on her. She's much more talkative with Ashley and more like herself. That alone was enough for me to leave a review. As former fire/ems, I've seen all kinds of facilities and staff so I came in to sign paperwork and ready to ask a hundred questions. I left without asking any of them because Ashley covered everything I was going to ask and went over things I hadn't thought to ask or even thought about. It's rare to find a facility that is as nice as they appear on the outside. It's even more rare to meet someone like Ashley that genuinely cares about not just the residents but making sure the family members are informed and kept in the loop. When visiting my mom, I saw Ashley pass by the room and stopped her to ask the various units and then asked about meds because my mom said she hadn't been given any pain meds. I took that with a grain of salt because dementia. Ashley could have said she would send the nurse in to talk to me about meds but instead, she talked to the nurse and let me know when the last dose was given and how long before my mom could receive another dose. In that same visit, I was greeted by people left and right while walking to my mom's room. I brought her dinner for her birthday and she was just finishing it when Myshawn came in with dinner and wished my mom a happy birthday. She was slightly confused so he showed her the meal order with her info on it and the happy birthday at the top. Asked how her birthday was and if she enjoyed her dinner then said he had a piece of cake for her. She was all smiles during that interaction with him. Those moments where she's smiling ear to ear while in rehab are fleeting so it means a lot when that happens. I've told a number of friends that have aging family members about my experience over the years any time my mom goes to an SNF so they have options when needed or when they start the process of moving a family member who needs more care. I've since told all but a few of them about Smith's Mill and if they decide to check it out, ask for Ashley because she is not only a font of knowledge when it comes to elder care but she is genuine when it comes to caring about the residents. That and the food has looked delicious every time I've been to visit during meal time. Honestly a little envious of my mom on that front.

We took her out on a little ride and she could not wait to get back to her room. She has had a pretty rough 85 days being in and out of hospitals and other rehab facilities that were lower than below the lowest low for facilities. I wish we had found this one the first time around. Dr. Deneen is the epitome of professionalism and he really does care about the residents! He introduced himself within 10 minutes of her being there. He saw her almost every day. Every day. The nurses are AMAZING!! One night I was leaving from my mom's and saw 3 sitting around one of the tables having dinner with a resident. They asked how her day was and what she had done. Ami came in and hugged my mom and sat down beside her and told her how much she was going to miss her. That is what you want to see in a facility you are leaving your loved one in. Beth had to call me to set up a care conference and the first sentence out of her mouth on my voicemail was that this was a non-emergency call. Now that may not seem like much, but when you are on pins and needles because your loved one has been very sick and has ups and downs for months; a phone call from the facility they are in usually is an emergency. She really did not have to say that is my point. However, she did and it was very much appreciated. The whole atmosphere is very homey and calm. They have bright call lights above each room and they have signage that shows that at the nurse's station which room needs assistance. Wild turkeys, deer, beautiful places for family to sit inside and outside. It has been impressive from day 1 and I could go on and on, but I do not have enough room. Our mother was taken care of just like we would have and we felt at ease during the day knowing she was there. They care, truly cared about her and helping her get back on her feet at the highest level they could help her get to. We've sadly taken her to other facilities in the area and were disappointed beyond belief. Not at New Albany Rehab. I hope she NEVER has to need that type of care again, but if she does, she is definitely going there. Thank you very much to: Kristin, Rebekah, Lorraine, Latoya, Kayla, Dr. Deneen, Cheryl, Annalynn, Joe, Liann, Judy, Cathy, Miriam, Ami, Brian (OT), Jeremy, Brandy, Katie, Jasmine, Tammy, and Beth. Each of you made the experience for our mom; Mary-Donna the best she has had during her whole ordeal since January 21, 2019. You treated her like you'd treat your own loved one. No words can express our appreciation for that.
