My mother, Suzanne, was a patient at ManorCare Health Services – Bethel Park. She became a patient after my father passed away. During that time, so many wonderful people went out of their way, not only for my mother, but for our family. Even with so many siblings asking questions, the ManorCare staff was not frustrated or annoyed, but was so kind. I want to recognize Luwanna; Cathleen; Beth, social worker; Lindsay, admissions; Jackie, receptionist; Lisa, receptionist; Mital; Shumin; and Sherry.

Shumin, even when not assigned, stopped in before and after her shift. She was so gentle and attentive. She took care of me as much as mom. I wish I could remember everyone who spent time with my mother. There was nothing they wouldn’t do for us. They always tried to make us comfortable, and they are all deserving of accolades.

I also called my uncle and had him admit my aunt to ManorCare. Their care here is so amazing.

Patient Profile: 

After a serious accident, Kathleen was admitted to the hospital. She was was severely injured with several broken bones that required surgery. Post-surgery, Kathleen was unable to walk or transfer and was in need of rehabilitation and nursing care before returning home.

Post-acute Need:

Kathleen, 74, lives on her own and gardens extensively. She required physical and occupational therapy to help get her strong enough to transfer and walk on her own. She was in severe pain and had surgical incisions that required care.

Post-acute Stay:

At the center, the interdisciplinary team created a care plan to help Kathleen meet her goals. The nursing team helped Kathleen manager her pain and taught her about caring for her incisions. The therapy team helped Kathleen work on strengthening, balance and range of motion so she would feel confident returning home. The team did a home assessment to ensure Kathleen was confident in her ability to get around on her own.

Back to Active:

"When I first arrived I wasn't able to do much on my own. It was important to me to be able to get around independently since I was doing everything for myself before my accident. I am now stronger and more flexible and able to walk on my own safely." - Kathleen
