Recovering after a hospital stay can be challenging, but having the right support can make all the difference.
After realizing she wasn't quite ready to safely return home, Linda chose the Mercy Health — Willard Swing Bed Program, where she received the rehabilitation, encouragement and personalized care she needed to regain her strength and confidence.
When asked about her experience, Linda immediately highlighted two of her “shining stars,” Tammi and Shannon. She shared that they made therapy so enjoyable that she often didn’t realize how hard they were working her. Through their encouragement, creativity and dedication, they helped Linda build the strength and endurance needed for a successful recovery.
Linda described the staff as amazing, dedicated, caring and compassionate. She said everyone went above and beyond to make her feel supported throughout her stay. In fact, there were days when she was laughing and enjoying her interactions with staff so much that she forgot she was even in the hospital.
“The staff truly want their patients to get stronger and be successful when they return home,” Linda shared.
Because of the exceptional care she received, Linda said she would highly recommend the Swing Bed Program to her family, friends and neighbors. She is confident the team is committed to helping every patient achieve the best possible outcome before returning home.
In closing, Linda shared that she would “return in a heartbeat” if she ever needed rehabilitation or strengthening services again. She also expressed how blessed she felt to have been part of such a successful program and grateful she was to the team for helping patients like her regain their independence and return home with confidence.
