The lives of our family, and in particular our mother (Josephine Giarratano), have been touched and impacted by the health care industry and the people that tirelessly toil in this profession. That being said, as we reflect on the experiences of the past two years, we would like to express our gratitude to The Center at Park West. My mother has had the opportunity to literally rehabilitate 6-7 times over the course of that time period. She considers this facility and the people that have worked with her a home away from home, and we agree.The doctors, nurses, therapy staff, and support personnel individually and collectively have had a direct impact on returning my mother to a quality of life and living each time. We have been impressed by the genuine commitment to services, the day to day care, and the passion and professionalism that encompasses this care.When our family, including my mother, began the process of investigating care/rehab facilities, our number one concern and priority was safety and quality of care, in order to facilitate and enhance my mothers quality of life. TEAMWORK is extremely important to our family, and we can attest that the philosophy of the Center champions and embodies TEAMWORK. The environment is SAFE-EFFECTIVE-EFFICIENT and has a number of care providers in multiple areas of the facility. Patient engagement and satisfaction foster a trust and the ability to speak freely and openly to staff (a BIG plus for us), education during the pandemic and access was unfailing, and empathy was paramount for both immediate family and friends.Facility and Staff will be the biggest plus when doing your research. I empower those individuals and family members seeking a home away from home to reach out if you so choose and I will gladly address anything you may want to know or questions you may carry I will leave my contact information with the facility.Josephines comments from her stays:I was treated with care and respect by nurses, CNAs, Physical and Occupational Therapy members, enjoyed having my own room and that is was always clean, helped me when I needed help, when I had appointments they took me to and from promptly, breakfast, lunch and dinner were healthy and served timely and OT and PT staff were wonderful, helped me get better and out of the hospital and home each time.Editors Note: This article was submitted by the staff at The Center at Park West.
