I could barely walk and had to go down the stairs backwards to keep from falling down them. When I arrived at the facility and after my assessment and first session with Stanley I was walking better.

I no longer have the stabbing pain down my legs and walking so much better. The facility is not super fancy but the quality of care that you receive is what's most important.

Also, make sure you heed the parking signs. Various DC metro sports memorabilia adorn the walls. When I went they were never too busy and the waiting room chairs are extra wide, like could fit two of me wide. I guess if you're a defensive tackle and you need physical therapy, you don't want to be sitting on a folding chair, so that's fair. The staff knows what they are doing, and I had maybe 3 appointments for a bulging disc in my neck. All the staff that I saw were pretty young, so that made me feel good (and old). Eric gave me some home exercises to do including a sheet of paper explaining what to do. It's very clean in there, and they have a great selection of equipment, but not that you can really choose which one you use, because, you know, you're in there for something specific. If I ever need physical therapy again, I'd definitely go back here.

I was so focused on location that I wasn't considering other factors, such as recovery and the best program for me. I needed more than a chiropractor who could perform physical therapy. I didn't realize the first place I visited didn't have physical therapists on staff. My stereotype of a chiropractor is someone who snaps your neck and walks on your back (slight exaggeration). My doctor suggested ATI. I walked into a clean, organized space. Everyone was in uniform. All of the furniture matched. The patient tables were in great condition and looked like my "stereotype" of a physical therapy office. There were crisp, white towels folded under each patient table. The exercise equipment looked new (so that's what exercise equipment looks like). There was a candy dish on the counter (I KNOW what a candy dish is). The physical therapist was kind and patient. He asked great questions about each area of pain. Even though Christopher *tortured me and I wanted to punch him, he was awesome. *Torture, i.e. lightly touched my injured areas and had me do baby exercise movements. He took detailed notes on all of my decrepedness and really paid attention to what I was saying about my injuries. When his light touch was too much, he would give me a break. After each "torture" session, you get heat treatment. Yummy! I have more treatments to go but I feel good about my decision to visit this place. I just want to be in the best condition possible so I can clean my house without being in pain. It still hurts to laugh hard.......

As a klutz, I fell and broke and tore ligaments in my foot and sprained my ankle a few months back…read more Someone had told me "if you can walk on it it's not broken" so I walked on it for five weeks before going to the doctor and I learned that no, you absolutely can walk on a broken foot. Pro tip. Anyway. After two months in a boot my foot was worse than it was before (from my perspective) in that parts that didn't hurt before the boot did and of course I'd lost ALL strength and range in it. How much was from the boot and how much from the original injury hard to say. Anyway, it was at this point that my doctor recommended PT and sent me to Optimal. Hadassa took my case and she is great; over the past three months or so she's gotten the strength and range of motion in my ankle back to what it needed to be. I still have some issues with the foot that I think are deeper (pun intended) than what PT alone can resolve so I'm off to get a second opinion on that. But, I highly recommend Optimal if you need PT. I've worked mostly with Hadassa but also with Paula and Nicole, and all are excellent therapists as well as kind and caring people. What really makes Optimal stand out though is the people and the environment. I've been to probably half a dozen PT facilities over the years and as far as I can tell they've all been good at what they do, but not going to lie, it's usually boring as heck doing PT. But you won't be bored at Optimal. There is just something far more *social* about Optimal than any of the other PT places I've been, that's totally separate from the quality of the therapy (which of course is there, and is the most important thing) - but I can honestly say I never *looked forward* to going to PT before. But I've gotten to know the therapists and their assistants and even several of the other "regulars", and now that I've been released I'm going to miss hearing about everyone's adventures. I've learned it's absolutely possible to be both professional in medicine and have fun doing it, so Optimal is going to be my PT of choice next time I break myself. Which, who are we kidding, probably won't be that long since I'm a klutz.

MALTA HOUSE FOR SENIORS PART OF VICTORY HOUSING, INC…read more The best decision I ever made was to arrange admission for my elderly sister to Malta House in Hyattsville, Maryland. She was living in the family home in Takoma Park, MD and was no longer safe and competent to live alone. I told her that she "needed to retire". She accepted that but with great anxiety. I spoke to her primary physician and she recommended Malta House. I was impressed as soon as I walked into the building. It was a great surprise that the supervisor, Sister Jean, was a previous patient of mine. She was a person that I respected very much. The current supervisor, Elisabeth Orchard, has taken the previous high standards up several notches. Her leadership style includes teaching the staff to achieve the highest level of caring, respect and compassion for seniors and especially for the difficulties of life for those who are losing abilities that they previously had. She leads also by by knowing exactly how care is given at any time and thus closes the loop between her teaching and implementation of those ideals. My sister was comfortable almost immediately after admission. Malta House emphasizes community, caring, compassion, cleanliness, and peace of mind so that social life and activity can be maximized. It is safe, spacious, and the food is fabulous since the head of food services previously worked as a chef on cruise ships. Most of all, my sister has piece of mind for the rest of her life. The facilities are amazing that there is so much in a space that still is cozy and home like. They have a beauty salon, library, resident pantry, 2 sitting rooms, one with a fire place and the other with a large TV, a fitness program, a book club, arts, music, transportation and shared space for parties and family visits. All is on one level and is accessible. The studio apartments are also spacious, comfortable, with large window that looks out on gardens and a patio. There is 24/7 staff that live in the building and provide emergency care if needed. The residents wear a small comfortable alarm system so if they leave the premises inadvertently, an alarm goes to the staff. Doors are locked to get in but not to leave of course. There are religious services available. My sister and I were not raised Roman Catholic. We were Presbyterians. But, the feeling there is clearly acceptance and respect of our beliefs and people of any denomination can be very comfortable. Assisted Living is not cheap! The cost there is lower than many others and much is achieved for the money that is spent. It's a good deal! My sister is happy there and considers Malta House to be her home.
