I have never felt more comfortable in a rehabilitation facility in my life, you are in amazing hands here at encompass. I don't leave a lot of reviews but I couldn't let it go unsaid that I think everyone should aim to get placed into encompass for any type of rehabilitation. Everyone from the custodians to the big wigs have been extremely motivating and positive and you can tell they genuinely care about you and want to see you recover. Oh and the food is actually really good most of the other reviews I have seen about encompass have been about how bad the food is and they are not true at all!!!

At first I was peeved cuz they knew we were coming. Turned out the wait was because they had sent a man to Janesville to pick up a special mattress for him as he had a sore on his backside. Janesville was the nearest place to get what was needed for his comfort. Also that first night I found myself surrounded by caring people who understood what we were going thru. Most of those people are still there. The director who was there at the time has now been replaced by Glen. I have to be honest and say that he and I had a few troubles in the beginning, but it was more a lack of communication than anything else. Most recently Glen is responsible for providing my husband with a special wheelchair that keeps his feet up. This was done because my husband does not willing bend his knees. I couldn't be more grateful. Every 6 mos or so I attend a 'care meeting' with his head nurse, and social worker to make sure I am happy with the care he is getting. I feel safe in saying he is getting the best care available outside of private pay, which would be impossible for us. LuAnne R.

It was the most horrible experience that I am still having nightmares about. The social worker (AS) was absolutely horrible. She had previously been A social worker in a juvenile detention center and she treated the residents with suspicion as though they were juvenile delinquents. That woman was eventually fired after my parents had passed but the damage was done. When my father was old and sick she asked me if he thought it was time to give up and die. My mother had every single thing stolen from her. Everything. This social worker put her in a room, after my father died, with a crazy woman who stole everything from my mother. I went to visit and the drawers were empty her closets were empty all of her jewelry was gone every knickknack she ever owned had been stolen. Like I said this is a nightmare I have to live with for the rest of my life. They were so neglected and because I lived out of state I would call constantly and of course I was told everything was fine. When I would visit everything was not fine and I would raise holy hell. Stay as far away from this hell hole as possible....well, unless you hate your loved one.

Another time I visited and my loved one was sitting in his wheelchair in a puddle of pee which had pooled on the floor. Another time I was berated by a staff member because she couldn't find his shoes, which were in his closet, like I told her. I also got accused of stealing food from the kitchen, which turned out to be unfounded. I tripped and fell coming out of the elevator because it wasn't level with the floor. Hopefully the place has improved.

You will not find a healthcare provider who takes you more seriously, tries every option until you find a solution or, honestly, is just fun to talk to! She's professional, super sweet and truly loves her job. We've had lots of trial and error but she never gives up. It gives patients something to look forward to because she assures you that there are always more options. The MAs are really lovely too and have a great sense of humor. It's a truly beautiful facility too, Kind checkout staff, decent billing experiences. Only recommendation is to get on the cancelation list because they are an in-demand clinic. The wait can be 6 months but if you're determined in calling or answering cancelation notices, I've gotten appointments moved up by 4-5 months. They're never openly annoyed with my calls!

I am formally calling for a review by the Office of Inspector General (OIG) regarding practices…read moreobserved on a project at the William S. Middleton Memorial Veterans Hospital. During our work on this project, serious concerns arose regarding contract administration and compliance with federal procurement regulations. Specifically, as the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR), Daryl DeKeyser did not allow our company to submit change orders for additional work that fell outside the original scope. Instead, we were directed to proceed while necessary materials were purchased using a government-issued credit card. This resulted in our company being required to perform additional labor without proper compensation through the contractual process. These actions raise significant concerns about adherence to federal contracting requirements, transparency, and proper use of government funds. For the sake of accountability and to protect both contractors and taxpayer dollars, this matter deserves formal review by the Office of Inspector General. I encourage the appropriate authorities to investigate these practices thoroughly.
