After an accident at home and subsequent surgery, I was faced with selecting a skilled nursing facility for my rehabilitation. I confidently left the decision to my wife, and I’m grateful I did.
Upon arriving at my room, I was pleasantly surprised to find it was a private space. With no roommate, I enjoyed uninterrupted sleep without the distraction of snoring or television noise. The room was spacious and quiet, providing a peaceful environment whenever needed.
More importantly, the staff was exceptional. The nurses displayed professionalism and went above and beyond to assist with my pain management upon arrival. As my pain subsided, they ensured I received my medications correctly and on time, which made a significant difference in my recovery.
The Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) became a familiar presence, starting each day with a knock at my door around 6:30 am to take my vitals and weigh me. Their daily support was invaluable throughout my stay.
The Physical and Occupational Therapists were dedicated to helping me regain my strength and independence after my fall. They expertly prepared me to return home capable of caring for myself with minimal assistance.
Additionally, my Social Worker tirelessly managed the intricacies of my insurance and Medicare coverage. After about three weeks, Medicare initially denied further skilled nursing treatment, prompting us to appeal their decision, which we successfully challenged every week.
Kathie and I are profoundly grateful for the outstanding care and treatment I received at Good Samaritan in Yakima and the quality of the kitchen services. The food surpassed my expectations for an institutional setting, and I was genuinely impressed as someone with a culinary background.
So, a big KUDOS to Good Samaritans!
The entire team, from start to finish, gave my husband wonderful care during his short-term rehab stay. From Erica for making it possible, to Team 5 (Hi Becky), to Carrie, to the Rehab team for OT/PT, to the food (thank you Libby), my husband was well taken care of. He is well on his way to a full recovery that was made quicker and easier because of Good Sam and their expert guidance and attention. We highly recommend them (thank you Mary for referring them to us).
This is a good care facility. It is clean. Staff are friendly and helpful. They provided good care for a family member who was there post-surgery. She was happy with the care provided. Thank you to all the staff that cared for her. I would recommend this care facility.
