"I was in Wesley in their rehab. It had everything. There's a lot of different buildings, and they have apartments. They go from independent living all the way through to nursing home. The whole place is beautiful. The grounds are beautiful. The buildings are lovely. The room where I was, was sort of furnished with old-fashioned seeming furniture, and some wallpaper and stuff. It was, I thought, a very attractive room with a big window. It was a double room and I didn't have a roommate a lot of the time, but it was divided in such a way that you didn't really get in each other's way. You could talk to each other if you wanted to. It was a very nice room.
The people were great, but they, like every place else, are short staffed. I would have liked if they hadn't been short staffed, and I'm sure they would have liked that better, too, because they were trying hard to hire. The food was excellent 80 percent of the time, and 20 percent of the time it wasn't, but I thought they did a really good job on the food. They had a wide variety, and you had a lot of choices. It was during the time of COVID, so we were not going to the dining room.
The PT people that came in were absolutely fabulous, particularly one person named Rachel. I had to really learn to walk again and everything else, and the PT people there were really good. I got a lot of PT and also OT there because I had broken my wrist just before I had my operation. I would recommend it. In the beginning, and during COVID, we couldn't have visitors, and of course that wasn't their fault. Eventually, we could, and that was very nice. There might have been one or two people that I didn't care for a whole lot, but in general they were great, very helpful, and very kind, but understaffed. I was very sick when I got there, but later I engaged a lot more, but with COVID, it's limited.
If it hadn't been for COVID, they would have a lot of activities. They have dining rooms and they have something going on, I'm sure all the time, because I've read their book, but they couldn't because of COVID. When I got out they had loosened up a little. You didn't have to wear a mask when you were in your room, but you did if you went any place else. I would recommend the short-term rehab care there. It's a beautiful campus. It's just gorgeous. When my husband was going for rehab there, I would go and drive him. I'd go walk around, and it had flowers, gardens, trees, and walks. It's a nice place. Their rehab is good. It's all one big place with several buildings, but all I know is the Hathorn building. We were covered by insurance, but the transportation to some doctors' appointments that I went to that they arranged, we had to pay for those."
