I have been a patient several times, and everyone is great. I just can't say enough good.

Patient Profile:
Janet is an active sixty-nine-year-old grandmother. She had been attending a show on a Saturday night at the Schuster Center downtown Dayton. She noticed several people sneezing and coughing all around her. The next morning she had chills and her whole body was aching. Her appetite diminished, but she continued her medications. Soon she began to feel lightheaded when she walked, experienced shortness of breath and had a dry cough. She reported to the emergency room at Huber Health Center, where she transferred to the hospital for acute kidney failure, low blood pressure and sepsis from a urinary tract infection.

Post-Acute Need:
Janet loves reading, Facebook, going to the theater and most of all spending time with her grandchildren.  However, her condition had left her weak and she had even begun to experience falls. What Janet wanted was to get the rehabilitation she needed to get stronger, get home quickly and be active in her grandchildren's lives.

Post-Acute Stay:
The therapy team at Heartland - Beavercreek focused on improving standing balance to increase Janet's ability to move safely and decrease her risk of falls. There was additional focus on upper and lower body strengthening and improving Janet's aerobic capacity to help improve her ability to complete self care at home with less assistance. Janet was able to successfully accomplish her goals, return home and get back to her grandchildren.

Back to Active:

"The staff at Heartland - Beavercreek made my recovery so much easier and helped me to gain strength and be able to be more mobile. I could always depend on someone responding to every need. It was overwhelming at first, but I set goals and reached them very quickly with the rehab staff." - Janet.

"My stay at Heartland - Beavercreek has been wonderful. Everyone has been so nice. Cindy, Activities Director, is so helpful and has fun things planned for us everyday. The nurses and aides are very helpful. David, STNA, goes above and beyond his duties to help when I can't do something for myself. I have had experiences at other nursing facilities and they do not compare to my experiences at Heartland - Beavercreek." - Arezona

"I really enjoyed my stay at Heartland - Beavercreek. The nurses were exceptional, especially Denise, who was always professional and caring. THe food was good and since I was on a special diet, the dietary department was always very conscientious of making sure my food matched my diet. My experience at Heartland - Beavercreek was far and beyond better than other skilled nursing centers that I have been exposed to and if I ever had to return for rehabilitation again, I will only choose to come to Heartland - Beavercreek." - Anna

"The staff at Heartland - Beavercreek helped me to get better and worked as a team. LIke NASCAR, I was the drive and they were my pit crew. Even the office staff would stop by and check on me, which is unheard of in other facilities that I have been to. I have another surgery coming up and will definitely return to Heartland - Beavercreek." - Van
