| - Years ago I was hit by a car while on a motorcycle waiting for a light (thanks, lady...not!), and I was thrown completely over her car landing on my right hip on the concrete. Well, that accident finally caught up with me, and I had to have a total hip replacement on that side as my hip had calcified/broken to the point I had no ball and hip socket making it almost impossible to walk.
I chose Sante--a short term stay rehab facility--on reviews of facilities from health organizations (not Yelp.com). So, so soon as I had my operation and short 2.5 days in the hospital I was transferred to Sante for a 2 week stay.
To my delight, I got excellent care at Sante I thought. You come out of that type of rough operation practically helpless and reduced to a toddler state for a short while having to have help even getting to the bathroom the first couple of days--but help I got and good, caring, kind help, too. Granted, most of the time it was some young guy -30 years old and a CNA (Certified Nursing Assistant), but they were a big help since it was hard for me to even stand those first few days. And the first week I couldn't even get my legs in the bed again once I got out, so I was constantly having to call for help (they give you a life alert necklace to wear while there with a button to turn the call lights on), and someone always came and helped me.
The food, by the way, at Sante was excellent...really! I'm a good cook myself, and the food there was just really top quality--and huge servings most of the time, too. You can get whatever you want almost any time of the day there with the only requirement is you have to get yourself to the dining room.
Physical therapy/occupational therapy was every day for a half hour each, and I got lots of helpful tips from the people there about how to get better and not injure myself. Really helpful.
I loved my stay at Sante, and am really surprised at the negative comments here. However, let me say, if a patient there is unable to speak or call for help I can imagine they would have a very hard time at Sante as nobody stays in your private room waiting for you to call.
For me, tho, Sante has some little activities daily like movies, candy bar bingo, a chocolate tasting--just little easy to do activities that require no thinking really--for the patients to enjoy.
Personally, I found the staff to be filled in general (a few exceptions) with happy, caring medical staff who really want to see you improve and get well. I would not hesitate to go back there if I needed to, and I am really sorry others have not had the same experience I had.
By the way, the facility itself is quite pretty for a rehab and certainly not depressing at all.
