5 /5 matthew goetz: I am the caregiver and son of 2 parents who are very ill. I relocated from New York City to live with so they could receive proper care at home. This review involves my father who, at 88 years of age, suffers of ALS (Lou Gherigs disease).
Not sure where to begin; will start with names. First the administrator Adele is fantastic beyond words--ALWAYS available and approachable -- Im astonished that the top management of a facility is this hands-on and so easy to speak to. The other names: Shimmey, Andrew, Jennifer, Patrice, Akash, Vicki (if Ive left others out, my apologies). ALL of these individuals are top management and they approached me to make sure everything with my fathers rehabilitation experience at Sapphire was going well. My heartfelt thanks to them for a hands-on approach that surpassed my expectations beyond imagination.
The rehabilitation care my father experienced after his hospitalization was excellent. This was the first time my father was in a facility and that was the only obstacle. He simply wanted to be at home (which is completely understandable). I was hoping he could stay in the facility a bit longer to receive the exceptional rehabilitation care he was receiving (for about 2 weeks), however, he really wanted to get home and the mutual decision was to have him discharged to home.
I found the staff on all levels dedicated to the job they were doing. I suspect there may be some negative reviews, and, who in the life has not had bad days or made mistakes. From what I saw (and I visited regularly) everyone was committed to my fathers well being and rehabilitation.
Also, the facility is clean and does present as a facility -- they have very "homey" and agreeable areas where residents and patients can participate in activities and socialize. I even asked them if I could stay there after my father left. Of course this was tongue-in-cheek, and, there was some truth to it; they create a very pleasant livable environment.
I would not hesitate, if need be, to have my father go there again for rehabilitation; or, even for myself if I needed rehabilitation.
On behalf of my family, thank you all at Sapphire to help my father improve his condition!
