2019 Service Excellence Award

I wanted to tell about my experience at Huntingdon Health and Rehabilitation. My first visit at Huntingdon Health and Rehabilitation, I could not walk by myself. When I got there, the Administrator, Alison was outside trimming the flowers. I knew right then that I was in the right place, where everyone worked as a team. Then, by the afternoon, I met some of the most amazing nurses and I met the head of the Departments, which made me feel so welcome and like I was in my own home. The Activities Director, Terry, keeps the residents busy, but more than that she keeps their minds busy and gives the love that they need and enjoy. The CNA's are angels here. They make sure that we get our showers and anything we need. They are wonderful and I believe they were sent by God. In fact, all employees were made for this career by our Lord. There is one nurse that tells patients every night, "I love you." That is what we need to hear. I had the best Physical Therapy team that helped me recover. They are angels also. They also have a wonderful hair stylist that comes every Tuesday. I recovered and went back home, but unfortunately, I fell and hurt myself again and guess where I came back to? I went back to the House of Angels. I am telling you if you ever need Therapy or need a Nursing Facility, come on out to Huntingdon Health and Rehabilitation for long or short-term visits. All the staff is amazing, from Nursing to Paula, the social worker who makes sure that all your needs and business is taken care of. Paula runs errands for us and makes sure all our needs are met. That angel has to have wings the way she flies around here. As with other facilities, we have our moments, but because of the staff, it is solved very quickly.

I chose Huntingdon Health Center because I heard it was close and my mother had been here before and said they are the best. This place is great and everyone is family. I will miss each and everybody and I will send people to this wonderful place.

I chose Huntingdon Health and Rehabilitation center because they had a room and rehabilitation! Randy Burton, Lacie Wilson, Kayla, Tawana, Terry Ivy, Betty Karr, and Barbara Milton were all so good to me during my stay! I liked Bingo, Sunday School, and Sunday Services too!

I loved my stay at Huntingdon! My favorite activities to do there were Bingo and getting to know the other guests. The therapy there was excellent; I have felt so much improvement! The staff, including Regina, Jennifer, Randy, Sherri, and Tosha, were all warm and welcoming, and always checking up on me. It has been an overall pleasant and positive experience.

Mrs. M came to Huntingdon Health & Rehabilitation Center after a hospital stay. She went in for an outpatient surgery and had complications. She came to us for short-term rehab. Ms. M was confused when she came in and not able to transfer or walk without assistance. She had great support from her boys and they were just as eager for her to return home as she was. Following her completion of skilled services, Ms. M was able to ambulate independently with RW. She was able to get herself ready for the day with no assistance. Ms. M said, "If I ever need therapy again, I will come back here!" Good luck Ms. M!

Very compassionate and friendly environment.

I just wanted to thank the staff at Huntingdon Health and Rehab for the care they gave my Mom while she was there. From the time of admission to settling in; they were always there to help- till the day she died (Labor day). Thanks to the kind, knowledgeable and caring staff Karen, Melissa, Henrietta and Kerri- there are no words to express our gratitude. No words can capture what we feel in our hearts. Thanks to the CNA's- Anastasia, Penny, Jennifer T., Eric, Tiffany and Teresa, they treated my mom with such dignity, care and compassion. I have been a hospice RN for 20 years and been in lots of nursing homes- yet the staff at Huntingdon should be the model that all nursing homes follow. The day before my mom became unresponsive I received a call from her "I love it here. Everyone is so nice!" If I have left out any one's name; I am so sorry. Thank you again! The best Staff ever!

The staff here has been more than nice to me and my family. I would come here again for Rehab if needed. This center is my choice of facilities. The fact that people will holler hello to you from a distance just to speak was wonderful to me. I have enjoyed the activities (Bingo), getting my nails polished, and getting my hair cut. I just can't believe they have things like that available to the residents. So I don't get bored, I have my flat screen TV and word find puzzles provided by Huntingdon Health and Rehabilitation. I have enjoyed being here and getting to know all the staff and other residents.

I chose Huntingdon Health & Rehab for myself because I heard good reports from a nurse. The therapy department, Randy Burton, Betty Kurr, Margie Hampton and Barbara Milton...were just some of the team members that stood out during my stay.

Mr. Finch was a retired Army man that spent most of his career working in Medical Equipment Maintenance. He came down suddenly with a cough that quickly became much worse & began to limit his ability to walk and take care of himself daily. He was admitted to the hospital for pneumonia & acute respiratory failure. Upon discharge from the hospital, he arrived at our facility for intense physical & occupational therapy. He was a hard worker & was dedicated to giving it his all every day. Mr. Finch required assistance with self-care tasks, transfers & functional mobility. Upon discharge, Mr. Finch was independent with mobility & required no assistant device. Mr. Finch was also independent with all activities of daily living. Mr. Finch stated, "Y'all are the best group I have ever worked around and the best group I ever worked with"! He also said if he ever had to come back to a facility for therapy, he would definitely be coming back to Huntingdon Health and Rehabilitation Center.
