When I came here, I did not know what I was coming into. I had never been to
a place like Island Oaks Living Center before. As the days progressed I learned
more and more; things that were going to be useful to me for the rest of my life.
I learned how to sit and stand, to walk, and dress myself. The things I needed
to be able to do to get back to being a normal person after my fall. I found
that the facility was great and I have never been treated so well by so many people.
They are all so accommodating to my specific needs.
In the Rehab dept there are three girls that have taught me so much. They were
very knowledgeable, gracious, helpful, and kind. In another facility where I
had been for therapy, it was much different. They brought you down and put everyone
in a circle and had everyone do the same thing. Here, I get individualized attention
and learn what I need to learn. They give me positive feedback and correct me
when I need to improve my techniques.
I have mixed feelings about leaving. I do want to…. I feel comfortable with
returning to my home and have no worries, but on the other hand I have been treated
like family and it makes me sad to go. Everyone has been really nice, accommodating
to my needs and attentive day in and out. Greta returned to her home and beloved
dog Muffin after her rehabilitation. |
